Tirzepatide-related acute liver injury
Tirzepatide should be used cautiously, with regular monitoring of liver function tests.If patients develop severe gastrointestinal symptoms or worsening abdominal pain, immediate hospital admission is necessary for further work-up, including a CT abdomen.Daily liver function tests, renal function tests and international normalised ratio (INR) tests should be conducted to identify and manage potential complications.
