Liver Failure (Depakote) Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Link to case here: Liver Failure [Medication-Induced]
This case has an expert witness opinion from a GI doc.
Patient was started on Depakote, LFTs were initially fine.
Within 5 weeks she had a liver transplant.
The expert notes that she had positive ASMA and ANA titers and homozygous positive for H63D hemochromatosis. Do these results suggest that there may be an alternative cause for her liver failure?
