Cholestatic jaundice caused by D-penicillamine

D Barzilai et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 1978 Feb.

Abstract

D-penicillamine is not generally considered to cause hepatic damage. Cholestatic jaundice developed in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis 4 weeks after penicillamine was added to his regimen, and he died in acute renal failure. The probability that penicillamine caused the cholestasis is discussed.
