Pyrazinamide is associated with transient and asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and is a well known cause of clinically apparent, acute liver injury that can be severe and even fatal.</p></div><div id="Pyrazinamide.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Pyrazinamide (pir" a zin' a mide) is a synthetic pyrazine analogue of nicotinamide that has potent activity against mycobacterium tuberculosis. Its mechanism of action is unknown, but it appears to be both bactericidal and bacteriostatic. Pyrazinamide is considered an adjunctive therapy of tuberculosis and is always used in combination with another antimycobacterial agent such as isoniazid or rifampin. Pyrazinamide was developed and introduced into clinical use in 1956 and continues to be commonly used in therapy of active tuberculosis, but not for latent tuberculosis. It is available as tablets of 500 mg in several generic forms. A fixed combination of pyrazinamide (300 mg) with isoniazid (50 mg) and rifampin (120 mg) is also available under the brand name of Rifater. The recommended dosage of pyrazinamide is 15 to 30 mg/kg daily in one or more doses, but not in excess of 2 grams daily. Pyrazinamide can also be given in a twice weekly regimen of 50 to 70 mg/kg per dose allowing for observed administration and better compliance. Typically, pyrazinamide and ethambutol are given only for the first two months of 3- or 4-drug combination therapy of active tuberculosis, with continuation of isoniazid and rifampin for at least six months. Common side effects of pyrazinamide are fatigue, anorexia, gastrointestinal upset, arthralgias, rash and photosensitivity.</p><p>The management of tuberculosis is challenging and should be under the direction of physicians with expertise in tuberculosis therapy and management of its side effects. Optimal regimens of therapy for tuberculosis are complex and change frequently. Regularly updated recommendations on use of drugs for tuberculosis, including indications, contraindications, warnings, dosages and monitoring recommendations are available at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website:&#x000a0;<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tb/publications/guidelines/Treatment.htm" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">http://www.cdc.gov/tb/publications/guidelines/Treatment.htm</a>.</p></div><div id="Pyrazinamide.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Combination therapy for tuberculosis using pyrazinamide is commonly associated with transient and asymptomatic elevations in the serum aminotransferase levels. These elevations are usually less than five times the upper limit of the normal range. Because pyrazinamide is used only in combination with other antituberculosis medications, its contributions to serum enzyme elevations is not completely clear, but it is frequently incriminated in transient serum enzyme elevations. Clinically apparent liver disease with symptoms and jaundice also occur with pyrazinamide therapy and it is often considered the culprit in causing liver injury in the face of double or triple antituberculosis therapy (Case 1). Indeed, the use of a short, 2 month course of combination therapy with rifampin and pyrazinamide for latent tuberculosis was abandoned because of the frequency of severe liver injury with this regimen that was occasionally fatal (Case 2). The onset of injury due to pyrazinamide is generally after 4 to 8 weeks and occasionally becomes apparent only after the pyrazinamide is stopped. The pattern of liver enzyme elevations is typically hepatocellular and the clinical syndrome resembles acute viral hepatitis, much like isoniazid hepatotoxicity. Features of hypersensitivity (rash, fever and eosinophilia) are uncommon as are autoantibody formation. Liver biopsy demonstrates changes typical of acute hepatitis with portal and lobular inflammation, hepatocellular necrosis and variable degrees of cholestasis.</p><p><a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.likelihood-score/">Likelihood score</a>: A (well known cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Pyrazinamide.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism of hepatic injury by pyrazinamide is not known, but the drug is extensively metabolized by the liver and injury may be caused by a metabolic intermediate. <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.hepatotoxicity/">Hepatotoxicity</a> from pyrazinamide appears to be more frequent with higher doses, suggesting a direct toxic effect, at least in part.</p></div><div id="Pyrazinamide.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The appearance of liver injury with symptoms and serum aminotransferase levels above 3 times the ULN or any elevation in aminotransferase levels above 5 times the ULN should prompt withdrawal of pyrazinamide. Many cases of pyrazinamide hepatotoxicity are severe and prolonged, and fatal instances have occurred. Pyrazinamide has not been linked to chronic hepatitis or vanishing bile duct syndrome.

Her liver tests were reported to be normal before treatment. She had no history of liver disease, alcohol abuse, or risk factors for viral hepatitis. Isoniazid and rifampin were stopped but pyrazinamide continued. One week later, she was admitted to a local hospital for worsening hepatic function. She was mildly encephalopathic and the prothrombin time was prolonged. She was transferred to a liver transplant center. She was in stage 3 hepatic coma and required artificial ventilation. Pyrazinamide was stopped and ofloxacin, ethambutol and streptomycin started. Blood tests for hepatitis A, B and C were negative. She underwent successful liver transplantation 5 days after transfer and 3 weeks after onset of symptoms. She recovered uneventfully and was discharged 16 days after transplant on cyclosporine and prednisone. She was maintained on ethambutol, streptomycin and ofloxacin for tuberculosis, and sputum cultures remained negative.</p><div id="Pyrazinamide.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div id="Pyrazinamide.Tc"

While the case represents &#x0201c;definite&#x0201d; drug induced liver disease, it is impossible to be definitive about which agent was responsible. Isoniazid is a likely culprit, but pyrazinamide and (to a lesser degree) rifampin are also capable of causing acute severe liver injury, and continuing pyrazinamide in the face of an acute hepatitis-like syndrome was not advisable. Despite stopping isoniazid and rifampin therapy promptly, the patient progressed to hepatic failure and required liver transplantation within 3 weeks of initial presentation. Risk factors for antituberculosis therapy associated hepatitis included age and combination therapy. Risk factors for severe outcome were age and sex.</p></div></div><div id="Pyrazinamide.Case_2_Acute_liver_failure"><h3>Case 2. Acute liver failure complicating two month course of rifampin and pyrazinamide.(<a class="bk_pop" href="#Pyrazinamide.REF.2">2</a>)</h3><p>A 68 year old man with a history of a positive tuberculin test requested antituberculosis therapy so as to obviate the need for annual chest X-rays required by his employer. He had a history of alcoholic liver disease, but had stopped drinking 5 years previously. He also had gout, hypertension and type 2 diabetes for which he took aspirin, colchicine, ibuprofen, lisinopril and metformin on a chronic basis. He was started on rifampin (600 mg daily) and pyrazinamide (2 grams daily) and monitored monthly. He tolerated therapy without symptoms and liver tests were normal at baseline and at one month (Table). Immediately after stopping therapy, however, he began to feel ill and presented to the emergency room with jaundice, lethargy and confusion. On examination, he was icteric and had asterixis. Laboratory tests showed marked elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and bilirubin of 16.7 mg/dL. The prothrombin time was prolonged [INR 6.0]; and there were elevations in serum creatinine (5.4 mg/dL), ammonia (181 &#x003bc;mol/L: normal &#x0003c;35) and lactate (13.2 mmol/L, normal &#x0003c;2.2). Abdominal ultrasound showed ascites, but no evidence of biliary obstruction. He was given supportive care but developed worsening coma, respiratory and renal failure and died 3 days after admission.</p><div id="Pyrazinamide.Key_Points_1"><h4>Key Points</h4><div

This combination is highly effective for latent tuberculosis, but has been associated with an unacceptably high rate of liver injury and cases of acute liver failure, for which reasons it is no longer recommended. Whether the injury was due to pyrazinamide or rifampin was unclear; there is likely an interaction that promotes the risk of injury. The risk of liver injury increases with age not just with isoniazid, but also with other antituberculosis medications and combinations. History of alcohol abuse and alcoholic liver injury are believed to also be risk factors for antituberculosis medication hepatotoxicity, but it has not been clearly defined. Because pyrazinamide inhibits the renal excretion of urates, it should be used with caution in patients with gout. This report does not mention testing for viral hepatitis or autopsy results; but the clinical history and course are entirely compatible with drug induced liver injury from antituberculosis medications.</p></div></div></div><div id="Pyrazinamide.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Pyrazinamide_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
