Abstract
Sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is a medication recommended as a third line treatment of cholestatic liver injury pruritis. We report a case of a young male who developed liver injury secondary to self-administration of anabolic steroids and who complained of persistent pruritis leading to a treatment by sertraline. Two days later, the patient was admitted to the hospital with a severe hypoglycemia, while the liver function tests were in amelioration. Clinical and biological evaluation were in favor of sertraline-induced hypoglycemia, a side effect rarely reported in non-diabetic patients, and in the context of hepatic injury.
