Hepatotoxicity of parenteral gold therapy in rheumatoid arthritis: a case report and review of the literature
Abstract
We report a case of severe hepatotoxic reaction during gold therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. The previous literature on this condition is reviewed and the possible mechanisms of gold-induced hepatotoxicity are discussed.
