  • Title: Asterixis related to gabapentin intake: a case report and review.
    Author: Wahba M, Waln O.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 2013 Sep; 125(5):139-41. PubMed ID: 24113672.
    Abstract:
    Asterixis has been reported as a side effect of toxic and metabolic abnormalities. The current literature contains very little evidence of gabapentin-related neurotoxicity. Our observations reveal that neurotoxic side effects of gabapentin use may be seen even when dose adjustments are made for patients with mild-to-moderate renal dysfunction. Clinical vigilance for possible neurotoxic effects of gabapentin therapy in patients with renal dysfunction is warranted.
