Özet
The association between 6-Thioguanine (6-TG) treatment and drug-induced liver injury has been reported since 1976. Recent reports have suggested that treatment of patients with 6-TG can lead to chronic hepatotoxicity and portal hypertension. Most of the cases reported to have 6-TG related hepatotoxicity had acute lymphoblastic leukemia or inflammatory bowel disease. In this case report, we discussed the diagnosis and approach in an acute myeloid leukemia patient who developed 6-TG related chronic hepatotoxicity.
