Abstract

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare condition that can have a variable clinical course and potentially fatal outcomes. Medication toxicity is a known etiology, however liver failure induced by amiodarone is rare and has been reported mostly in the setting of intravenous (IV) infusion. We present an 84-year-old patient who developed ALF after chronic use of oral amiodarone.
