The release of cytokines and autoantibodies are reported in antithyroid drugs-treated patients and/or laboratory animals.56,59 It has been shown that cytokine-mediated liver injury could has a critical role in methimazole-treated mice.56 Furthermore, some cases of PTU-induced hepatic damage are reported in which autoantibodies are demonstrated.60 Lymphocyte sensitization in a patient with neonatal liver injury probably by placental transfer of PTU has been reported.61 All these reports are in line with the hypothesis that patient immune system might play a role in the pathogenesis of hepatic injury induced by antithyroid medications
Injectable Formulation: The intravenous dose recommended is 600 to 1200 mg once or twice a week, but various adverse effects are reported with the intravenous route due to the possibilities of overdose toxicities or may be due to additives present in glutathione injections
These autoantibodies mimic TSH, overstimulating the thyroid and causing hyperthyroidism
