Bupropion Kullanımına Bağlı Asemptomatik Transaminaz Yükselmesi: Olgu Sunumu ve Literatür Taraması

Bupropion major depresyon tedavisinde genel olarak güvenli ve iyi tolere edilebilir bir seçenektir. Preklinik çalışmalarda serum transaminaz seviyelerinde hafif ve geçici yükselmelere neden olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu vaka sunumunda başka bir rahatsızlığı olmayan major depresyon hastasında bupropion kullanımından sonra gelişen ve ilaç kesilince düzelen transaminaz yükselmesi rapor edilmektedir.

Asymptomatic Transaminase Elevation Due to Bupropion: Case Report and Overview of the Literature

Generally bupropion is considered as a safe and well-tolerated antidepressant for the treatment of major depression. In preclinical studies, mild and transient elevation of serum aminotransferases  was observed and also phase 3 studies revealed this increase as up to 1%. In this case report, we aimed to present a major depression patient with asymptomatic elevation of liver enzymes after bupropion treatment which returned to normal values after bupropion stopped.
