ABSTRACT
This case describes a 72-year-old Japanese woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia who had received a total of 215 g of amiodarone over six years and presented with hepatic encephalopathy. The abdominal non-contrast computed tomography showed diffusely increased attenuation of the liver parenchyma. The liver biopsy revealed drug-induced steatohepatitis. No genetic variations in the urea cycle were found. She was ultimately diagnosed with drug-induced steatohepatitis and urea cycle abnormalities caused by long-term amiodarone use. Amiodarone may cause drug-induced steatohepatitis and urea cycle abnormalities, which could induce hyperammonemia. Although case reports of amiodarone-induced hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy have already been reported, we present a typical picture of an amiodarone-induced bright liver, including the mechanism of amiodarone-induced hyperammonemia, to provide an educational learning point for many readers.
