carbamazepine-induced cholestasis
Friday 22 January 2010
Acute cholangitis
In carbamazepine-induced cholestasis, the histologic examination shows acute cholangitis.
This type of lesion broadens the spectrum of carbamazepine-induced liver injury which also includes hepatic granulomas and hepatocellular necrosis.
Its association with marked hypereosinophilia suggests that carbamazepine may causse acute cholangitis through an immunoallergic mechanism.
