Hepatopatia relacionada ao uso de drogas hipolipemiantes tem sido definida como um dano celular (aumento das enzimas AST e ALT) sem alterações colestáticas (aumento de bilirrubinas e/ou fosfatase alcalina). Seis mecanismos são propostos para a hepatopatia: 1. Reações de alta energia no citocromo P450 comprometendo a homeostase do cálcio com a ruptura de fibrilas intracelulares e lise de hepatócitos. 2. Disfunção de proteínas transportadoras relacionadas com o fluxo de ácidos biliares (mecanismo proposto para a toxicidade hepática dos fibratos). 3. Reações imunes geradas pela formação de metabólitos das drogas hipolipemiantes formados no fígado. 4. Hepatoxicidade promovida por células T com inflamação adicional mediada por neutrófilos. 5. Apoptose mediada por TNF e Fas (imune-mediada). 6. Estresse oxidativo gerado por dano a organelas intracelulares. Ainda, idade avançada, consumo excessivo de álcool, altas doses de drogas hipolipemiantes, interação com outros fármacos, e doença hepática ativa prévia podem aumentar a hepatotoxidade.Liver disease following the use of hypolipidemic drugs has been reported as a cellular damage (increases in AST or ALT enzymes) without cholestatic alterations (bilirubin and or alkaline phosphatase increases). Six mechanisms were proposed for hepatotoxicity : 1. High energy reactions on P450 cytochrome impairing calcium homestasis with rupture of intracellular fibrils and hepatocyte lysis. 2. Impairment of transporter proteins related to the bile acids flux (mechanism proposed for fibrate liver toxicity). 3. Immune reactions due to the formation of metabolites linked to enzymes following liver metabolism of hypolipidemic drugs. 4. Hepatotoxicity by T cells with additional inflammation mediated by neutrophils. 5. Apoptosis mediated by TNF and Fas (immune mediated). 6. Oxidative stress due to damage of intracellular organelles. In addition, advanced age, alcohol in excess, high doses of hypolipidemic drugs, interaction with other drugs, and previous active liver disease might increase liver toxicity.
