<meta name="description" content="Propofol is the mostly commonly used parenteral anesthetic agent in the United States, extensively used for minor and outpatient surgical procedures because of its rapid onset and reversal of action, and in intensive care units (ICUs) for maintenance of coma. Propofol has been associated with rare instances of idiosyncratic acute liver injury; in addition, prolonged high dose propofol therapy can cause the “Propofol infusion syndrome” which is marked by bradyarrhythmias, metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, hyperlipidemia and an enlarged or fatty liver.">

id="Propofol.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Propofol is the mostly commonly used parenteral anesthetic agent in the United States, extensively used for minor and outpatient surgical procedures because of its rapid onset and reversal of action, and in intensive care units (ICUs) for maintenance of coma. Propofol has been associated with rare instances of idiosyncratic acute liver injury; in addition, prolonged high dose propofol therapy can cause the “Propofol infusion syndrome” which is marked by bradyarrhythmias, metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, hyperlipidemia and an enlarged or fatty liver.</p></div><div id="Propofol.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Propofol (proe' poe fol) is an intravenously administered anesthetic agent that is widely used for minor and outpatient surgical procedures. Chemically, propofol is 2,6-diisopropylphenol and its mechanism of action is similar to the barbiturates and benzodiazepines, binding to gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) receptors in the central nervous system. The binding is to a different site than the benzodiazepines and causes marked increases the neuroinhibitory actions of the GABA receptor resulting in increased chloride conduction and hyperpolarization of neurons. Propofol also lowers intracerebral pressure and reduces cerebral oxygen consumption. Importantly, propofol has the unique pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic features of rapid onset of action and rapid reversal with stopping which makes it a valuable agent for induction of anesthesia and for short-term procedures. Propofol was approved for use in the United States in 1989 and it has become widely used for induction of general anesthesia, as an sole anesthetic agent for short, minor surgical and endoscopic procedures, and as a means of prolonged sedation in critically ill patients in intensive care units. Propofol is highly insoluble in water and is given in a lipid emulsion usually in a 1% solution of 10% soy bean oil. The typical induction dose of propofol is 1.5 to 2.5 mg/kg followed with small boluses or a constant low dose infusion for maintenance of anesthesia. Propofol is available generically and under the brand name Diprivan. Propofol should be administered by a trained anesthesiologist or anesthetist with adequate availability of ventilatory and cardiac support. Deaths from propofol overdose have been reported, particularly with its abuse.</p></div><div id="Propofol.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Liver test abnormalities are not common among patients during or after propofol anesthesia when given for a few hours. Indeed, propofol can be used safely in patients with cirrhosis and may be the preferred anesthetic agent in patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy. However, isolated case reports of hepatitis arising within days or weeks after propofol anesthesia for minor procedures have been published. The pattern of serum enzyme elevations was usually hepatocellular and some instances were accompanied by jaundice and prolongation of prothrombin time activity (Case 1). Immunoallergic features and autoantibodies during the liver injury were absent. In most published instances, other diagnoses such as ischemic hepatitis and hepatitis C were not completely excluded.</p><p>Prolonged infusions of propofol can result in a distinctive clinical syndrome known as the propofol infusion syndrome. It is marked by combinations of cardiac bradyarrhythmias, metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, hyperlipidemia, renal insufficiency and death from cardiovascular collapse. The syndrome generally arises after 2 to 3 days of sedation in association with use of higher doses of propofol (>5 mg/kg/hour) and may be more common in children than adults. Early termination of the propofol infusion can result in reversal of the syndrome, but the mortality rate in published series has been greater than 50%. On autopsy, patients with the propofol infusion syndrome may have hepatic microvesicular steatosis, explaining the lactic acidosis that frequently accompanies the muscle and heart abnormalities. However, jaundice and marked elevations in typical liver associated enzymes in this syndrome are uncommon. In some instances, both the urine and the liver have been described as being green in color, returning to normal soon after propofol is stopped. A mild form of this syndrome may occur earlier during infusions, as shown by lactic acidosis arising within 2 to 24 hours of starting propofol which is rapidly reversed upon stopping. More than 50 instances of propofol infusion syndrome have been described in the literature with a high mortality rate, although most deaths were due to cardiac involvement. Some instances of propofol infusion syndrome and lactic acidosis have been associated with higher than expected plasma levels of propofol, perhaps due to idiosyncratic differences in pharmacokinetics or miscalculation of administered dose.</p><p>Likelihood score: A[H] (well established cause of fatty liver injury when given in high doses over several days as a part of the propofol infusion syndrome) <i>and</i> D (possible rare cause of idiosyncratic, clinically apparent liver injury when given short term in conventional doses).</p></div><div id="Propofol.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism by which propofol causes liver injury is not known. The idiosyncratic cases are likely due to a metabolic byproduct as propofol is extensive metabolized in the liver by multiple P450 isoforms. The propofol infusion syndrome is likely due to direct mitochondrial injury which primarily affects myocardial and skeletal muscle, but which also can cause mitochondrial injury in hepatocytes resulting in microvesicular fat in the liver. The cardiac manifestations tend to be most prominent and are the usual reason for fatalities. There may be a genetic predisposition (perhaps a subclinical form of a mitochondrial disorder) to the propofol infusion syndrome or lactic acidosis.</p></div><div id="Propofol.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Management of the propofol infusion syndrome requires prompt discontinuation of the medication and cardiorespiratory support. Hemodialysis or hemofiltration may also be warranted. Lactic acidosis should be managed with intravenous fluids, 20% glucose infusions and bicarbonate. The idiosyncratic acute liver injury due to propofol is usually self-limited. Several reports of recurrence of propofol infusion syndrome upon restarting the anesthetic have been reported and reexposure should be avoided.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/GeneralAnesthetics/?report=reader">Anesthetic Agents</a></p></div></div><div id="Propofol.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Propofol_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Propofol.Case_1_Acute_hepatitis_after_pr"><h3>Case 1. Acute hepatitis after propofol anesthesia.(<a class="bibr" href="#Propofol.REF.1" rid="Propofol.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 62 year old woman underwent colonoscopy under propofol anesthesia and developed nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain 2 weeks later. She had no history of liver disease, took no medications, did not drink alcohol excessively and had no risk factors for viral hepatitis. She was jaundiced but was without signs of chronic liver disease. Laboratory testing showed marked elevations in ALT and AST with moderate increase in alkaline phosphatase (Table). She was admitted for evaluation. Tests for hepatitis A and B, EBV and cytomegalovirus were negative and autoantibodies were not found. She had antibody to hepatitis C (anti-HCV), although routine laboratory tests taken 6 months earlier had showed normal ALT levels. An abdominal CT scan showed no evidence of biliary obstruction. A liver biopsy showed an acute hepatocellular injury with mild fibrosis with changes suggesting a drug induced injury, rather than chronic hepatitis C. Subsequently, her symptoms resolved and laboratory tests had were falling when she was seen three weeks after onset.</p><div id="Propofol.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figPropofolTc"><a href="/books/NBK547909/table/Propofol.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figPropofolTc" rid-ob="figobPropofolTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK547909/table/Propofol.Tc/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK547909/table/Propofol.Tc/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Propofol.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK547909/table/Propofol.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobPropofolTc">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Propofol.Laboratory_Values"><h4>Laboratory Values</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figPropofolTd"><a href="/books/NBK547909/table/Propofol.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figPropofolTd" rid-ob="figobPropofolTd"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK547909/table/Propofol.Td/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK547909/table/Propofol.Td/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Propofol.Td"><a href="/books/NBK547909/table/Propofol.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobPropofolTd">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Propofol.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>A possible case of drug induced liver injury in which the only medication exposure was propofol anesthesia given 2 weeks before clinical presentation with symptoms and jaundice. The course was somewhat prolonged and the INR rose slightly suggesting that the injury was significant. Propofol anesthesia has been used in several million patients and drug induced liver injury as a result must be very rare. An alternative explanation in this case was acute hepatitis C, which was perhaps the more likely diagnosis, but HCV RNA results and follow up testing results were not provided.</p></div></div></div><div id="Propofol.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Propofol_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
