Abstract
We present the case of a 55-year-old male that was admitted to our hospital for cholestatic hepatitis. Other causes of hepatitis were excluded with imaging, laboratory and serologic tests. A liver biopsy was performed, which was compatible with toxicity-induced hepatitis. Re-assessing the patient, he mentioned the start of treatment with candesartan cilexetil 3 weeks prior to the onset of the symptoms. Candesartan was withdrawn, with a progressive improvement in cholestasis and complete normalization of liver biochemistry at 6 months. The patient was diagnosed with candesartan-induced cholestatic hepatitis, probable according to CIOMS/RUCAM scale.
