Abstract

Objective: Lamotrigine is found to be effective in continuation treatment of bipolar disorder’s depressive phase. Some fatal, hepatic side effects were reported due to lamotrigine treatment. A laboratory study on rats showed significant increase of liver enzymes, SGOT, SGPT and Total Billirubin levels which might also be valid for human subjects. In this study we aimed to evaluate retrospectively the effect of lamotrigine on liver functioning. Method: Patients between 18–60 years, who applied to Gaziantep University fiahinbey Research Hospital between 30 November 2006 and 28 February 2007 and diagnosed as bipolar disorder, recent episode depressive or major depressive disorder according to DSM IV were included in the study. All patients received lamotrigine as prophylactic treatment for mood disorders. After inclusion into the study medical records of the patients were retrospectively evaluated. The serum levels of several liver function tests (ie. SGOT, SGPT and Total Bilirubin) before treatment and 1st or 3 rd month after the initation of the treatment were taken into consideration. Missing values were estimated by series means method. Results: There was no significant difference betwen initial and late values. There was no correlation between initial and late dosage, and levels. After treatment the SGOT, SGPT levels of only two patients were elevated. Discussion: From the fact that there was no significant difference between groups but significant elevation in transaminase levels of two patients lead us to think that routine montioring of liver functioning throughout the treatment may not be essential, but a cross-sectional test should be beneficial. Results should be considered carefully as this is the one of the first studies evaluating the effect in men of lamotrigine on liver enzymes in the short term.

Özet

Amaç: Lamotrijin’nin bipolar bozukluğun depresif ataklarının sürdürüm tedavisinde etkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Lamotrijin tedavisine bağlı olarak, bazısı ölümcül, hepatik yan etkiler rapor edilmiştir. Nitekim sıçanlarda yapılan bir çalışma lamotirijin’in karaciğer enzimlerinden SGOT ve SGPT ile total bilirubin (TB) düzeylerinde anlamlı yükselmelere yol açtığı gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmamızda biz geriye dönük olarak lamotrijin’in karaciğer enzimlerine olan etkisini incelemeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: Üç aylık bir süre içerisinde Gaziantep Üniversitesi fiahinbey Araştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesi’ne başvurmuş ve lamotrijin tedavisi başlanmış, 18–60 yaş arası DSM IV’e göre bipolar bozukluk, en son atak depresif veya major depresif bozukluk tanıları konmuş hastaların tıbbi kayıtları ve psikiyatri dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir. Hastaların olağan karaciğer enzim izlemlerinden tedavi öncesi, ilk ay veya 3. ay SGOT ve SGPT düzeyleri ile total bilirubin değerleri dikkate alınmıştır. Eksik değerler, seri ortalaması yöntemiyle hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların başlangıç ve son karaciğer değerleri arasında anlamlı fark yoktu. Başlangıç ve son lamotrijin dozu ile değerler arasında anlamlı bağıntı yoktu. Ancak iki hastada tedavi sonrası SGOT ve SGPT değerleri yükselmişti. Tartışma: İzlem grupları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmaması ancak iki olguda klinik olarak yükselme gözlenmesinden hareketle, tedavi boyunca karaciğer enzimlerini izlemeye gerek olmadığı ama kesitsel olarak bir değerlendirmenin yararlı olabileceği söylenebilir.
