id="Acarbose.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Acarbose is an alpha glucosidase inhibitor which decreases intestinal absorption of carbohydrates and is used as an adjunctive therapy in the management of type 2 diabetes. Acarbose has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Acarbose.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Acarbose (ay' kar bose) is an inhibitor of intestinal alpha glucosidase, an enzyme responsible for digestion and absorption of starch, disaccharides and dextrin. Acarbose is a complex oligosaccharide produced in bacteria that has activity against glucoamylase, sucrase, maltase and isomaltase, intestinal brush border glucosidases. The inhibition of the glucosidase activity blocks the breakdown of starch and disaccharides to absorbable monosaccharides, leading to delay in glucose absorption and a degree of carbohydrate malabsorption which results in a blunting of the postprandial rise in blood glucose. Acarbose was approved for use in the United States in 1995 and was the first alpha glucosidase inhibitor introduced into clinical practice. A similar alpha glucosidase inhibitor, miglitol, was approved the following year. The current indications for acarbose are for management of glycemic control in type 2 diabetes used in combination with diet and exercise, with or without other oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin. Acarbose is available generically and under the brand name Precose in tablets of 25, 50 and 100 mg. The typical initial dose in adults is 25 mg with each meal (with the first bite), followed by a gradual increase to a maximum of 100 mg three times daily. Acarbose causes malabsorption and gastrointestinal side effects of flatulence, diarrhea and abdominal boating are not uncommon. More severe but rare adverse events include skin rash and pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis.</p></div><div id="Acarbose.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In several large clinical trials, serum enzyme elevations above 3 times the upper limit of normal were more common with acarbose therapy (2% to 5%) than with placebo, but all elevations were asymptomatic and resolved rapidly with stopping therapy. These studies reported no instances of clinically apparent liver injury. Subsequent to approval and with wide clinical use, however, at least a dozen instances of clinically apparent liver injury have been linked to acarbose use. The liver injury typically arises 2 to 8 months after starting therapy and is associated with a hepatocellular pattern of serum enzyme elevations with marked increases in serum ALT levels, suggestive of acute viral hepatitis. Immunoallergic features and autoantibody formation are not typical. While most cases are mild, some are associated with marked jaundice and cases with a fatal outcome have been reported to the sponsor. No cases of chronic liver injury or vanishing bile duct syndrome have been linked to acarbose use, and most large series of cases of drug induced liver injury and acute liver failure have not identified cases due to acarbose. Rechallenge has been carried out in several instances and resulted in recurrence with a shortening of the time to onset.</p><p>Likelihood score: B (rare but likely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Acarbose.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The cause of liver injury during acarbose therapy is not known. Acarbose is an oligosaccharide of microbial origin and is minimally absorbed (0.5% to 1.7%), so that systemic toxicity and liver injury were not expected and remain unexplained. Liver injury from acarbose is clearly idiosyncratic and may relate to an immunological reaction to the bacterially derived oligosaccharide molecule or to alterations in the microbiome and absorption of bacterial products.</p></div><div id="Acarbose.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The liver injury caused by acarbose has generally been mild and self-limited with the injury resolving rapidly once acarbose is discontinued. Cross sensitivity with other hypoglycemic agents has not been described. Furthermore, liver injury has not been described in patients taking the other currently available alpha glucosidase inhibitor, miglitol. Recurrence of injury with reintroduction of acarbose has been reported and should be avoided.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Antidiabetic/?report=reader">Antidiabetic Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass <a href="/books/n/livertox/AlphaGlucosidaseInhi/?report=reader">Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors</a>: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Miglitol/?report=reader">Miglitol</a></p></div></div><div id="Acarbose.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Acarbose_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Acarbose.Case_1_Acute_hepatocellular_inj"><h3>Case 1. Acute hepatocellular injury due to acarbose.(<a class="bibr" href="#Acarbose.REF.1" rid="Acarbose.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 57 year old woman with type 2 diabetes developed nausea, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine and jaundice 2 months after starting acarbose (50 mg three times daily before meals). She was taking no other medications for diabetes, but had been on a laxative (cyclobutyrol) intermittently for several years. She had no history of liver disease or drug reactions, had no risk factors for viral hepatitis and did not drink alcohol. Examination showed jaundice and hepatic tenderness, but no fever or rash or signs of chronic liver disease. Laboratory results demonstrated hyperbilirubinemia (3.8 mg/dL) and marked elevations in serum aminotransferase levels (ALT 1580 U/L, AST 1090 U/L), with minimal increase in alkaline phosphatase (220 U/L). Tests for acute hepatitis A and B, cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr virus infection were negative as were autoantibodies. An abdominal ultrasound was normal. Acarbose was discontinued and she improved within the next 10 days (Table). In follow up, all liver tests had returned to normal and she later tolerated glipizide without evidence of liver injury.</p><div id="Acarbose.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figAcarboseTc"><a href="/books/NBK548181/table/Acarbose.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figAcarboseTc" rid-ob="figobAcarboseTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548181/table/Acarbose.Tc/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548181/table/Acarbose.Tc/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Acarbose.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK548181/table/Acarbose.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobAcarboseTc">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Acarbose.Laboratory_Values"><h4>Laboratory Values</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figAcarboseTd"><a href="/books/NBK548181/table/Acarbose.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figAcarboseTd" rid-ob="figobAcarboseTd"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548181/table/Acarbose.Td/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548181/table/Acarbose.Td/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Acarbose.Td"><a href="/books/NBK548181/table/Acarbose.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobAcarboseTd">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Acarbose.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>Acarbose therapy has been linked to rare instances of an acute hepatitis-like injury arising 2 to 8 months after starting treatment.
