Bile Cast Nephropathy Because of Acute Liver Injury Associated With Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
ACG CASE REPORTS JOURNAL(2023)
Abstract
Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are novel nonsteroidal agents abused for performance enhancement such as anabolic steroids. We report a case of a 27-year-old man who used 3 different SARMs and presented with progressive weakness. Initial laboratory testing showed kidney and liver injury with creatinine 4.8 mg/dL and total bilirubin 43.3 mg/dL. An extensive workup was negative for other causes, and the results of liver and kidney biopsies were consistent with bile cast nephropathy because of SARM-associated drug-induced liver injury. His organ functions improved with the cessation of SARMs and plasmapheresis. Providers need to recognize the extreme consequences of SARM use.
