id="_Clopidogrel_OVERVIEW_">OVERVIEW</h2><div id="Clopidogrel.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Clopidogrel is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation that is used to decrease the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in patients known to have atherosclerosis. Clopidogrel has been linked to rare instances of idiosyncratic, clinically apparent acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Clopidogrel.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Clopidogrel (kloe pid' oh grel) is an inhibitor of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation and is used widely to decrease the risk of myocardial infarction and stoke in patients who have documented coronary or cerebrovascular disease or previous heart attack or stroke. Activated platelets release ADP which binds to platelet receptors, causing activation of intracellular glycoprotein IIb/IIIA complex which triggers platelet adherence and aggregation. The aggregation of platelets plays an important role in the growth of atheromatous plaques, which can lead to coronary, cerebral and peripheral arterial occlusions. In large clinical trials, clopidogrel therapy has been shown to decrease the frequency of recurrence of myocardial infarction and stroke. Clopidogrel was approved for use in the United States in 1997 and is widely used, with more than 1.5 million prescriptions filled yearly. Current indications include reduction of atherosclerotic events (myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular death) in patients with documented atherosclerosis and in patients with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina. Clopidogrel is available in 75 mg tablets generically and under the brand name of Plavix. The usual dose is 75 mg daily, sometimes with a loading dose of 300 mg on day one. Side effects are not common, but can include headache, dizziness, fatigue, gastrointestinal upset, nausea, arthralgias and rash.</p></div><div id="Clopidogrel.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Clopidogrel is associated with serum enzyme elevations in 1% to 3% of patients during therapy. In several large clinical trials, elevations of serum ALT were no more frequent with clopidogrel as with placebo (or in comparator arms) and no instances of clinically apparent liver injury were reported. Since marketing and release, however, there have been more than a dozen published case reports of clinically apparent liver injury attributed to clopidogrel. The onset of symptoms was within 2 to 24 weeks (averaging 6 weeks) of starting, with fatigue and jaundice. Several patients had an accompanying fever but rash and eosinophilia were not common. The usual pattern of liver enzyme elevations was hepatocellular, but cases with mixed or cholestatic enzyme elevations have also been described (Case 1). Autoantibodies were rarely present. Most cases were self-limited with recovery within 1 to 2 months, but rare cases of acute liver failure or hepatic decompensation with death or need for liver transplantation have been described.</p><p>Likelihood score: B (highly likely but rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Clopidogrel.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism of clopidogrel hepatotoxicity is not known, but is clearly idiosyncratic and may be due to the complex hepatic metabolism of the clopidogrel molecule. Immunoallergic features are usually not prominent, but hypersensitivity reactions to clopidogrel have been described. The effectiveness of clopidogrel is dependent upon its activation in the liver by CYP 2C19 and poor metabolizers of this enzyme may not respond adequately to its antiplatelet activity. Furthermore, it is susceptible to drug-drug interactions with agents that induce or inhibit CYP 2C19.</p></div><div id="Clopidogrel.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The severity of liver injury associated with clopidogrel ranges from transient, mild serum enzyme elevations to clinically apparent acute hepatitis that can be severe and lead to death. Most cases resolve with drug withdrawal within 1 to 3 months. Rechallenge with clopidogrel usually results in recurrence of liver injury and should be avoided. However, there does not appear to be cross sensitivity to the liver injury between clopidogrel and ticlopidine or dipyridamole.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Anticoagulants/?report=reader">Antithrombotic Agents</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Anticoagulants/?report=reader">Antiplatelet Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, Antiplatelet Agents: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Aspirin/?report=reader">Aspirin</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Cangrelor/?report=reader">Cangrelor</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Dipyridamole/?report=reader">Dipyridamole</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Prasugrel/?report=reader">Prasugrel</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Ticagrelor/?report=reader">Ticagrelor</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Ticlopidine/?report=reader">Ticlopidine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Vorapaxar/?report=reader">Vorapaxar</a></p></div></div><div id="Clopidogrel.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Clopidogrel_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Clopidogrel.Case_1._Acute_cholestatic_he"><h3>Case 1.

Clopidogrel was started in preparation of the coronary artery stenting and continued after discharge. Four weeks later and 41 days after starting clopidogrel he developed dark urine and jaundice. He had no previous history of liver disease, drug allergies, alcohol abuse, or risk factors for viral hepatitis. Other medications included aspirin, isosorbide dinitrate and metoprolol, all of which had been taken for several years. Laboratory testing showed a serum bilirubin of 5.3 mg/dL, ALT 212 U/L and alkaline phosphatase 172 U/L (Table). Serum albumin concentrations and prothrombin time were normal. Tests for acute hepatitis A, B, C (including HCV RNA) and E were negative as were smooth muscle and antinuclear antibodies. Abdominal ultrasound showed no hepatic masses or evidence of biliary obstruction. Four days after onset of jaundice, clopidogrel was stopped, while other medications were continued. Liver tests worsened for the first few days after presentation, but then began to improve and were within the normal range 3 months later.</p><div id="Clopidogrel.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figClopidogrelT1"><a href="/books/NBK547946/table/Clopidogrel.T1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figClopidogrelT1" rid-ob="figobClopidogrelT1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK547946/table/Clopidogrel.T1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK547946/table/Clopidogrel.T1/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Clopidogrel.T1"><a href="/books/NBK547946/table/Clopidogrel.T1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobClopidogrelT1">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Clopidogrel.Laboratory_Values"><h4>Laboratory Values</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figClopidogrelT2"><a href="/books/NBK547946/table/Clopidogrel.T2/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figClopidogrelT2" rid-ob="figobClopidogrelT2"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK547946/table/Clopidogrel.T2/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK547946/table/Clopidogrel.T2/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Clopidogrel.T2"><a href="/books/NBK547946/table/Clopidogrel.T2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobClopidogrelT2">Table</a></h4></div></div><p>* Some values estimated from figure.</p></div><div id="Clopidogrel.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>A typical example of an acute liver injury with jaundice attributed to clopidogrel. Typical were the time of onset (4-5 weeks), the mixed pattern of serum enzyme elevations and the mild self-limited nature of the injury, with improvement starting within a week of stopping the medication. While the liver injury from clopidogrel resembles that of ticlopidine, there are some differences. Both agents are associated with acute liver injury that usually arises within 1 to 12 weeks of starting. However, the injury tends to be more hepatocellular with clopidogrel and the time to recovery slightly shorter. Interestingly, there does not seem to be cross sensitivity to hepatic injury between clopidogrel and ticlopidine, despite their similar chemical structures and mechanisms of action.</p></div></div></div><div id="Clopidogrel.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Clopidogrel_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Clopidogrel.BPI" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>
