| Popis: |
Depakine (Valproate, VPA) has been the first line, most-frequently prescribed, anti-epileptic drug in children for the past 50 years. Idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity (iDILI) by VPA has been demonstrated in several case reports, where microvesicular liver steatosis was the most frequent feature. Moreover, more than half of VPA-treated patients could have silent fatty liver as demonstrated by ultrasounds. Extensive experimental studies support that VPA has a high potential to induce steatosis in hepatocytes. However, there is an apparent lack of significant hepatic problems in the Neuropediatric Units, despite transaminitis is not uncommon. One of the reasons could be that iDILI and liver steatosis diagnosis lack specific biomarkers. Thus, it is likely that a relevant number of children under VPA treatment may have a significant, but sub-clinical, hepatosteatosis. |
