id="Fenofibrate.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Fenofibrate is a fibric acid derivative used in the therapy of hypertriglyceridemia and dyslipidemia. Fenofibrate therapy is associated with mild and transient serum aminotransferase elevations and with rare instances of acute liver injury, which can be severe and prolonged and lead to significant hepatic fibrosis.</p></div><div id="Fenofibrate.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Fenofibrate (fen" oh fye' brate) is a fibric acid derivative. Its lipid lowering activity is probably mediated by its interactions with the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARα), which regulates gene expression of enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation. These fenofibrate induced changes cause an increase in lipoprotein lipase levels which enhance clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Fenofibrate is recommended for therapy of hypertriglyceridemia (Fredrickson types IV and V hyperlipidemia) and hypercholesterolemia (Fredrickson types IIa and IIb). Fenofibrate was approved for use in Europe in 1975 and in the United States in 1993. Fenofibrate is available in multiple generic forms and under the brand names of Antara, Lipofen, Lofibra, TriCor and Triglide as capsules and tablets of multiple concentrations, ranging from 43 to 200 mg each. The recommended initial dosage in adults is 43 to 130 mg daily with adjustment to as high as 200 mg daily (depending upon the formulation). Common side effects of fenofibrate include nausea, gastrointestinal upset, headache, muscle cramps and rash. Fibrates have multiple drug interactions requiring careful review and use.</p></div><div id="Fenofibrate.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Mild, transient serum aminotransferase elevations develop in up to 20% of patients receiving fenofibrate, but values above 3 times normal in only 3% to 5%. These abnormalities are usually asymptomatic and transient, resolving even with continuation of fenofibrate, but they occasionally may require drug discontinuation. Monitoring of aminotransferase levels is recommended for patients receiving fenofibrate and discontinuation if enzymes persist above 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).</p><p>There have also been multiple reports of clinically apparent liver injury in patients on fenofibrate. Onset of injury is variable; cases resembling acute hepatitis usually arise within a few weeks or months of starting therapy (Case 2), whereas cases resembling chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis typically arise after more than 6 months or even years of treatment (Case 1). The pattern of serum enzyme elevations is typically hepatocellular, but both mixed and cholestatic patterns have also been described. Some instances of acute injury with a short latency (2 to 8 weeks) are associated with fever, rash and eosinophilia, suggesting immunoallergic hepatitis. Cases with a longer latency typically present with nonspecific symptoms of weakness and fatigue, have autoimmune features with hyperglobulinemia, smooth muscle or antinuclear antibody, and a chronic hepatitis-like clinical and histological picture that is sometimes prolonged and associated with significant fibrosis or cirrhosis.</p><p>Likelihood score: B (very likely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Fenofibrate.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism of hepatotoxicity of fenofibrate is not known but appears to be immunologic. Cases of autoimmune-like hepatitis due to fenofibrate suggest that there is induction of immune reactivity to altered metabolites or fenofibrate-protein haptens in the liver.</p></div><div id="Fenofibrate.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Several instances of chronic liver injury and fibrosis have been reported with fenofibrate use, typically in patients who were continued on therapy despite evidence of liver injury. However, in most cases, serum aminotransferase levels eventually fall to normal within 2 to as long as 12 months after stopping. Rechallenge is usually followed by recurrence of liver injury and should be avoided. While many cases of fenofibrate associated liver injury have been prolonged and severe, there have been no instances of acute liver failure due to the fibrates. Chronic injury with vanishing bile duct syndrome may underlie many of the instances of chronic liver disease due to fenofibrate. In other instances, features of autoimmune hepatitis are present (ANA, SMA or high immunoglobulin levels). Corticosteroids have been used with apparent effect on serum enzyme levels, but their efficacy in altering the outcome of injury is less clear. If corticosteroids are used, the dose and duration of therapy should be kept to a minimum. Although not proven, there may be some degree of cross reactivity to hepatic injury among the different fibrates.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Lipid-LoweringAgents/?report=reader">Antilipemic Agents</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Fibrates/?report=reader">Fibrates</a></p></div></div><div id="Fenofibrate.CASE_REPORTS"><h2 id="_Fenofibrate_CASE_REPORTS_">CASE REPORTS</h2><div id="Fenofibrate.Case_1._Acute_hepatitis_due_"><h3>Case 1.

Laboratory findings included marked elevations in serum aminotransferase levels (Table) and bilirubin of 4.7 mg/dL. Tests for hepatitis A and B were negative, as were autoantibodies. Abdominal ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed no evidence of biliary obstruction. During the first week in the hospital, serum bilirubin rose to 13.3 mg/dL and prothrombin time decreased to 46% of normal. At this point, fenofibrate was stopped and she then began to improve, with rapid regression of jaundice, allowing her to be discharged after 25 days in the hospital.
