Results of liver function tests and ultrasonography of the liver done before surgery were normal. She began receiving tamoxifen, 20 mg/d, after surgery. Her medical history was unremarkable. She consumed no alcohol and had no risk factors for the acquisition of viral hepatitis. Seven months after surgery, the patient had an alanine aminotransferase level of 35 IU/L (normal less than 25 IU/L) and ...References1. Pratt DS, Knox TA, Efban J. Tamoxifen-induced steatohepatitis.
