Daclizumab use can cause life-threatening severe liver injury, including liver failure and autoimmune hepatitis. The use of daclizumab is contraindicated in patients with a history of autoimmune hepatitis or other autoimmune condition involving the liver, and in patients with preexisting liver disease of hepatic impairment, including ALT or AST at least two times the upper limit of normal. Prior to starting therapy with daclizumab, it is recommended to obtain serum transaminases (ALT and AST) and total bilirubin levels in all patients. Continue to monitor levels of transaminase levels and total bilirubin monthly, before each next dose, and follow transaminase levels and total bilirubin monthly for 6 months after the last dose of daclizumab. Treatment modifications are recommended based on serum transaminase and total bilirubin values. If patients develop clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of hepatic dysfunction, immediately discontinue treatment and promptly measure serum transaminases and total bilirubin. Discontinue treatment if autoimmune hepatitis is suspected.
