Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) frequently have elevated serum levels of liver enzymes. Hepatic abnormalities are suspected to be caused by hepatotoxic drugs, viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, fatty liver, and disease-related hepatitis. In the presenting cases, a drug-induced liver injury was diagnosed, which quickly returned to normal after the suspected causative medication was discontinued. Elevated liver enzymes are a major concern in SLE patients and should be thoroughly investigated. |
