TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Aspirin-induced acute liver injury JO - ACG case reports journal A1 - Laster, Janese A1 - Satoskar, Rohit SP - 48 EP - 49 VL - 2 IS - 1 N2 - Aspirin is thought to be a relatively safe drug in adults. The association of aspirin and Reye syndrome in children is well documented. We report a 41-year-old female with pericarditis who was treated with high-dose aspirin and developed subsequent acute liver injury. After discontinuation of aspirin, liver enzyme elevation and right upper quadrant pain both resolved. We conclude that high-dose aspirin should be considered as a potentially hepatotoxic agent.
