Valproate-Associated Transaminitis and Rhabdomyolysis.
Curēus 2023 April
Valproic acid (VPA), a common anti-epileptic with prevalent use, has many side effects such as alopecia, abdominal discomfort, thrombocytopenia, etc. Other than those documented, publications cite the drug's rare side effects, such as hepatotoxicity, coagulation disorders, hyperammonemic encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis, etc. We present the case of a 24-year-old man who was started on valproic acid after a seizure episode and developed mild transaminitis and rhabdomyolysis within 24 hours of drug initiation. Cessation of the drug led to the resolution of raised creatinine kinase and transaminase levels.
