  • Title: A jaundiced bodybuilder Cholestatic hepatitis as side effect of injectable anabolic-androgenic steroids.
    Author: Boks MN, Tiebosch AT, van der Waaij LA.
    Journal: J Sports Sci; 2017 Nov; 35(22):2262-2264. PubMed ID: 27937337.
    Abstract:
    The use of anabolic steroids is prevalent in recreational athletes. This case report describes a young amateur bodybuilder who was referred to our outpatient clinic with jaundice and loss of appetite due to cholestatic hepatitis. Additional tests including a liver biopsy made it likely that the hepatitis was caused by the injectable anabolic steroid trenbolone enanthate. Cholestatic hepatitis may not be limited to the use of oral anabolic-androgenic steroids, as is widely assumed. Therefore, and because of other side effects, the recreational use of all forms of anabolic steroids should be discouraged.
