Creatinine accelerates APAP-induced liver damage by increasing oxidative stress through ROS/JNK signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: Serum creatinine is an endogenous biomarker to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and is commonly used to assess renal function in clinical practice. Acetaminophen (APAP), the most available analgesic and antipyretic medication, is recommended as the drug of choice for pain control in patients with renal diseases. However, an overdose of APAP can lead to severe acute liver injury, which is also the most common cause of acute liver failure in western countries. The role of creatinine in APAP-induced liver injury is unclear and should be further explored. Herein, clinical data on patients with drug-induced liver injury revealed that the creatinine concentration between 82-442 μmol/L for female and 98-442 μmol/L for male is positively correlated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT), asp
