Abstract
Azacitidine and venetoclax are important anti-neoplastic agents used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. Azacitidine has been implicated to cause nonhepatic ischemic injury. Here we report a case of severe, short latency drug-induced liver injury following the infusion of azacitidine and venetoclax in a patient which was subsequently mitigated through pretreatment with a vasodilatory agent.
