Can Pancreatitis Be Associated with Amiodarone Hepatotoxicity?

We report a patient with classical features of amiodarone hepatotoxicity who died of progressive liver failure. Throughout the course of his illness, he had epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and persistent mild to moderate elevation of amylase and lipase in his serum and peritoneal fluid. Pancreatitis due to amiodarone has not been reported. We raise the question of whether or not the pancreas is yet another organ subject to amiodarone toxicity and speculate as to possible pathogenesis. We suggest that patients on amiodarone who develop abnormal liver enzymes, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain be evaluated not only for hepatotoxicity, but for pancreatitis as well.
