Abstract

Incidences of pancreatic cancer worldwide have been known to be increased. It is the fifth leading cause of death in United State of America. Seventy percent occurs in the head of the pancreas. Major risk factors are related to age, black race, smokers, high-fat diet, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus and alcohol consumption. Some clinical symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss or ascites can occur early or even late in the course of disease. Diagnosing pancreatic cancer sometimes can be difficult, regarding to discrepancy between clinical symptoms and radiological findings. It is important to take good history of the patient, thorough examination, and combine several modalities in diagnosing tumor of pancreatic head. In this case report, a 54 year-old female, came to the hospital with abdominal swelling and jaundice. Physical examination revealed liver and spleen enlargement and edema on both lower extremities. The laboratory result showed increment in Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19–9) level, without marked increase in bilirubin level. Dilatation of the pancreatic duct was found in this patient, without any sign of bile stone. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in this patient was failed to have significant result.

Abstract

Introduction. Antituberculosis (ATT) induced hepatotoxicity is commonly found among HIV/AIDS patients. Several risk factor related to drug-induced hepatotoxicity such as alcoholism, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection, abnormal baseline aminotransferase/bilirubin, poor nutritional status and concomitant hepatotoxic drugs consumption, are usually found in these patients. This study was conducted to evaluate risk factor of ATT-induced hepatotoxicity in HIV/AIDS patients. Methods. This is a case control retrospective study with matching of age, sex, antituberculosis regimen, and alcohol consumption. Risk factors evaluated are hepatitis C and hepatitis B coinfection, concomitant hepatotoxic drugs consumption, abnormal baseline aminotransferase and or bilirubin. Results. We collected data of 33 cases and 33 controls We found 82% subjects in case group and 76% subjects in control group have hepatitis C coinfection; 18% subjects in case group and 6% subjects in control group have hepatitis B coinfection. Fifty four point five percent (54.5%) subjects in case group and 42.4% subjects in control group consume other hepatotoxic drugs. Elevated baseline ALT level was found in 51.5% subjects in case group and 12% subject in control group. Bivariate analysis showed that the risk of hepatotoxicity was higher in patients with elevated baseline ALT level (OR=7.5; 95% CI 1,72- 32,80; p < 0,05). Conclusions. Elevated baseline ALT level will increase antituberculosis drug induce hepatotoxicity risk up to 7.5 times. There were no association between hepatitis C, hepatitis B, concomitant hepatotoxic drugs consumption and antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity in HIV/AIDS patients.
