Item Progressive Cholestasis and Biliary Cirrhosis After Initiating Oral Semaglutide: Report From the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network(Wolters Kluwer, 2022-12-26) Ma, Jiayi; Mathur, Karan; Muldoon, Jessica L.; Ghabril, Marwan; Chalasani, Naga; Vuppalanchi, Raj; Medicine, School of MedicineSemaglutide has little hepatic metabolism and is deemed low risk for causing drug-induced liver injury (DILI). We present a case of DILI from the US DILI Network. The case involved a 51-year-old man with type 2 diabetes who presented with jaundice and acute-on-chronic kidney disease 6 months after starting oral semaglutide. His liver injury progressed to biliary cirrhosis, accompanied by nephritis that led to end-stage renal disease. Extensive evaluations including liver and kidney biopsies revealed no alternative etiologies. Cholestatic gene sequencing revealed heterozygosity for ABCC2 and DHCR7. He eventually underwent combined liver and kidney transplantation.
