Case 1: A 43-yr-old female (70 kg, 166 cm, BMI 25) was re-operated on for laparoscopic readjustment of her gastric band. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol followed by desflurane, sufentanil, and rocuronium. The surgery was uncomplicated. She received a dose of ketorolac i.v. (30 mg) and acetaminophen 1 g four times a day. On the third day, after a total intake of acetaminophen 11 g, she presented with acute liver failure associated with multiple organ failure (factor V level 5% of normal, prothrombin time: 71 s, INR 12.9, liver cytolysis: ASAT: 5321 U litre−1, ALAT: 3401 U litre−1) (Table 1). Serum concentration of acetaminophen was 31.8 mg litre−1 (17 h after the last dose). She was treated with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and supported by a Molecular Adsorbed Recirculation System (MARS). Two days later, an orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) was successfully performed under desflurane-based anaesthesia. Histopathology of the liver showed generalized steatosis in the viable hepatocytes and major centrolobular necrosis (zone 3) highly suggestive of a toxic origin. The patient was discharged after 6 weeks at home.Table 1Pre- and postoperative laboratory values in two cases of fulminant hepatitis due to acetaminophen. Day 1, day of admission to the ICU.

Anaesthesia, at that time, was induced with propofol followed by sevoflurane, sufentanil, and rocuronium. Analgesia included diclofenac and morphine (48 h). Acetaminophen 1 g four times daily had been given for 10 days before the intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The acute liver failure was associated with a severe coagulopathy and encephalopathy (prothrombin time: 41 s, INR: 2.0, cephalin activated time: 48.5 s, severe thrombocytopenia: 9000 plat µl−1, liver cytolysis: ASAT: 9301 U litre−1, ALAT: 5011 U litre−1, renal insufficiency: serum creatinine 2.7 mg dl−1) (Table 1). Serum concentration of acetaminophen was 10 mg litre−1 (48 h after the last dose). She was treated with NAC. Improvement of all parameters permitted discharge from the ICU after 48 h. In the two cases, CT scan and abdominal ultrasound showed a highly hypodense and hyperechogenic, homogeneous and enlarged liver, clearly suggestive of chronic liver steatosis. In the two patients, serological investigations did not show evidence of viral hepatitis (A, B, or C). Acetaminophen toxicity proposed in these cases because of well-known risk factors (antiepileptic drugs and liver steatosis), highly suggestive histopathology, classical clinical course,2Krähenbühl S Brauchli Y Kummer O et al.Acute liver failure in two patients with regular alcohol consumption ingesting paracetamol at therapeutic dosage.Digestion. 2007; 75: 232-237Crossref PubMed Scopus (25) Google Scholar and exclusion of other causes. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may cause idiosyncratic liver damage but typically, the onset of the NSAIDs-induced hepatic injury is delayed and follows long-term administration.5Boelsterli UA Diclofenac-induced liver injury: a paradigm of idiosyncratic drug toxicity.Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2003; 192: 307-322Crossref PubMed Scopus (354) Google Scholar The clinical course did not suggest inhaled anaesthetic-induced liver failure. Obesity and liver steatosis risk factors may be associated with depletion of glutathione (GSH) stores due to impaired hepatocellular function. The first patient was not overweight, but inter-individual variations of acetaminophen glucuronidation have been also suggested.2Krähenbühl S Brauchli Y Kummer O et al.Acute liver failure in two patients with regular alcohol consumption ingesting paracetamol at therapeutic dosage.Digestion. 2007; 75: 232-237Crossref PubMed Scopus (25) Google Scholar Acetaminophen is conjugated in the liver by the UDP-glucuronosyl-transferase and by sulphotransferase.6Wills EJ Walton B A morphologic study of unexplained hepatitis following halothane anesthesia.Am J Pathol. 1978; 91: 11-32PubMed Google Scholar Other metabolic enzyme system is cytochrome P450 (mainly CYP2E1 but also 1A2 and 3A4) resulting in production of NAPQI.
