Abstract:

Objective To explore the efficacy of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate(MgIG) in the treatment of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (AT-DILI) and influence on cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-10, TNF-α).Methods The study enrolled 50 patients with mild hepatocellular injury who admitted to Infection Department, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from February 2016 to December 2019, and the patients met the criteria of AT-DILI. Patients were randomly grouped, 25 patients in observation group treated with MgIG, 25 patients in control group with polyene phosphatidylcholine(PPC). The key observation was liver function (ALT, AST, TBIL) and cytokine levels (IFN-γ, IL-10, TNF-α).Results The total effective rates were significantly higher in observation group than in control group (100% vs 76.0%, P<0.01). Compared with before treatment, IFN-γ, IL-10, and TNF-α in both groups were lower after treatment (all P<0.05), and the indexes were significantly decreased in observation group (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed the cytokine levels were positively correlated with ALT in both groups at different time points.Conclusion MgIG can quickly improve liver function in mild AT-DILI, which may relate to the reduction of inflammatory cytokines.
