Ricciuto A, Kamath BM, Walters TD, Frost K, Carman N, Church PC, Ling SC, Griffiths AM.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate a large anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-treated pediatric inflammatory bowel disease cohort for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) following presentation of an index case with suspected DILI with autoimmune features after infliximab exposure. To characterize the incidence, natural history, and risk factors for liver enzyme elevation with anti-TNF use.
