Dose-related increases in liver transaminase levels occur frequently during interferon-alfa therapy. Changes in LDH and alkaline phosphatase have been reported, primarily in patients with preexisting hepatic impairment. Patients with autoimmune hepatitis who have received interferon-alfa have experienced severe, life-threatening exacerbation of their disease. Therapy with interferon-alfa should be administered cautiously in patients with liver disease and should not be initiated in patients with autoimmune hepatitis.
