| Popis: | Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (iDILI) is the second-most-common cause of acute liver injury. When it is caused by ibuprofen, it is quite rare, especially when not accompanied by systemic signs or symptoms. A young female patient presented with an ibuprofen overdose suicide attempt and then developed an acute liver injury within a few days. Given its rarity, ibuprofen-induced iDILI was initially a secondary differential, but when her course did not improve as expected, she was quickly evaluated for liver transplant. She fully recovered without needing the transplant, but this case highlights the importance of not only early suspicion/detection but also early referral to a transplant hepatology service. |
