id="Anakinra.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Anakinra is a recombinant interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist that has antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory actions and is used in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthritides. Anakinra is associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevations during therapy and with rare instances of clinically apparent, acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Anakinra.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Anakinra (an a kin&#x02019; ra) is used to treat serious inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). IL-1 like tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a major role in the immune responses underlying local and systemic inflammation. IL-1 also is the dominant cartilage destructive cytokine. Circulating IL-1 receptor antagonists (IL-1Ra) modulate the effects of IL-1 and are synthesized in response to inflammatory reactions, acting to prevent binding of circulating IL-1 to its receptor and thus helping to terminate the proinflammatory reaction. Anakinra is a recombinant version of IL-1Ra produced in E. coli, differing from the natural cytokine antagonist only in being nonglycosylated and having the addition of a single amino acid (methionine) on its amino terminus. Anakinra has been shown to be a disease modifying antirheumatologic drug (DMARD) and to improve signs and symptoms and decrease cartilage destruction in rheumatoid arthritis. Anakinra was approved for use in the United States in 2001 and its current formal indications are for severe rheumatoid arthritis and the autoinflammatory conditions known as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). It is used off label for idiopathic juvenile arthritis and other autoimmune forms of arthritis such as adult onset Still disease and macrophage activation syndrome. Anakinra must be given parenterally daily and is available under the brand name Kineret in prefilled syringes of 100 mg per 0.67 mL, which allow for doses between 20 and 100 mg. A typical regimen is 100 mg subcutaneously each day. Common side effects are local skin reactions, gastrointestinal upset, headache, arthralgias and possibly an increased incidence of bacterial infections. Less common but potentially severe adverse reactions include serious infections, reactivation of tuberculosis and hypersensitivity reactions.</p></div><div id="Anakinra.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In large registration trials, ALT elevations occurred in &#x0003c;1% of patients taking anakinra, a rate not different from that in placebo recipients, and no cases of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice were reported. Since its approval and more wide scale use, however, anakinra has been linked to several instances of acute liver injury. The onset was within a few weeks to up to 6 months after starting subcutaneous injections of anakinra and the typical clinical presentation resembled acute viral hepatitis, with a hepatocellular pattern of serum enzyme elevations, high levels of ALT and AST and mild to moderate jaundice. Immunoallergic features were not reported and autoantibodies were considered due to the underlying conditions being treated. Liver biopsies demonstrated an acute hepatocellular injury with prominence of eosinophils. Most patients recovered within 2 to 8 weeks of stopping anakinra without evidence of residual injury, but some cases have been severe, protracted and associated with transient features of hepatic failure. Not all published cases of anakinra-associated acute liver injury have been very convincing; virtually all have occurred in patients with Still's disease in which acute liver injury can be a manifestation of the underlying condition or a component of macrophage activation syndrome, a potentially life-threatening complication of adult onset Still&#x02019;s disease and other inflammatory arthritides. Furthermore, in many of the published instances, patients were taking other drugs capable of causing acute liver injury (such as high dose methylprednisolone). Anakinra has not been linked to reactivation of hepatitis B or exacerbation of chronic hepatitis C.</p><p>Likelihood score: C (probable cause of clinically apparent acute liver injury).</p></div><div id="Anakinra.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Anakinra binds to circulating IL-1 and is metabolized peripherally, probably largely in macrophages. It is a polypeptide and has minimal hepatic metabolism. The mechanism by which it causes liver injury is unknown, but may be the result of its effects on the immune system.</p></div><div id="Anakinra.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The hepatic injury caused by anakinra is usually self-limited and resolves within a few weeks of stopping the medication, although some cases have been severe and protracted. Cases of fatal, acute liver failure, chronic hepatitis and vanishing bile duct syndrome have not been reported with its use. There is no reason to suspect that there may be cross sensitivity to hepatic injury between anakinra and other immune modulating biologic agents including agents that modulate IL1 such as canakinumab and rilonacept.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntirheumaticAgents/?report=reader">Antirheumatic Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, <a href="/books/n/livertox/InterleukinRcptAntag/?report=reader">Interleukin Receptor Antagonists</a>: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Canakinumab/?report=reader">Canakinumab</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Rilonacept/?report=reader">Rilonacept</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Sarilumab/?report=reader">Sarilumab</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Tocilizumab/?report=reader">Tocilizumab</a></p></div></div><div id="Anakinra.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Anakinra_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Anakinra.Case_1_Acute_liver_injury_due_t"><h3>Case 1. Acute liver injury due to anakinra.(<a class="bibr" href="#Anakinra.REF.1" rid="Anakinra.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 22 year old woman with suspected adult onset Still disease was treated with anakinra, which resulted in a marked improvement in the inflammatory arthritis, but was followed by the development of jaundice 3 weeks after starting the daily injections. Before starting anakinra, the patient had presented with a systemic inflammatory condition marked by fever, skin rash and polyarthritis that was diagnosed as being adult onset Still disease, based upon the clinical presentation and laboratory findings of an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and serum ferritin in the absence of autoantibodies or rheumatoid factor. She was treated with high doses of methylprednisolone followed by oral prednisone (1 mg/kg) with little change in symptoms, and persistent fever and arthralgias. Anakinra was started in a subcutaneous dose of 100 mg daily, which was followed by symptomatic improvement and fall of ESR to normal within a week. The dose of prednisone was decreased to 30 mg daily and anakinra was continued. Three weeks after starting the IL-1ra therapy she developed fatigue and jaundice. She had no previous history of liver disease, alcohol abuse or risk factors for viral hepatitis. When she initially presented with fever and polyarthritis, serum aminotransferase levels were mildly elevated. At the time of presentation with jaundice, the serum total bilirubin was 6.8 mg/dL (6.6 direct), ALT 3346 U/L, AST 2386 U/L, GGT 538 U/L and alkaline phosphatase 300 U/L. Tests for hepatitis A, B and C were negative and abdominal ultrasound was normal, with no evidence of biliary obstruction. A liver biopsy showed an acute hepatitis with marked inflammation and necrosis without fibrosis or signs of hemophagocytosis. Stopping anakinra was followed by a rapid improvement in the liver injury, but two weeks later the reappearance of symptoms and signs of adult onset Still disease prompted treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin which led to a remission in disease.</p><div id="Anakinra.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figAnakinraTc"><a href="/books/NBK548615/table/Anakinra.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figAnakinraTc" rid-ob="figobAnakinraTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548615/table/Anakinra.Tc/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548615/table/Anakinra.Tc/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Anakinra.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK548615/table/Anakinra.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobAnakinraTc">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Anakinra.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>This patient developed acute hepatitis with jaundice 3 weeks after starting daily doses of anakinra for adult onset Still's disease. The pattern and course of the liver injury was quite typical of idiosyncratic drug induced liver injury and compatible with the type of injury that has been reported with anakinra with a 2 to 6 week latency and a hepatocellular or mixed pattern of liver enzyme elevations. The pathogenesis is unknown. Anakinra is a recombinant protein and is unlikely to be inherently hepatotoxic, but rather more likely to toe trigger the acute liver injury indirectly by its action against IL-1 or on the immune system. Patients with adult onset Still disease often have hepatic involvement and particularly with the complication of macrophage activation syndrome, marked by immune activation and proliferation of cytotoxic CD8 T cells and macrophages with hemophagocytosis. However, in this case there was no evidence of concurrent hemophagocytosis or macrophage activation.</p></div></div></div><div id="Anakinra.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Anakinra_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
