Acute liver injury in the context of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related colitis treated with infliximab.

ICPIs such as CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitors have the potential to cause both gastrointestinal reactions and hepatotoxicity. An additional confounding factor in our patient's case was the exposure to infliximab used to manage an established irAE that developed after the last exposure to ICPIs. The clinical history and data supported infliximab-associated hepatotoxicity, rather than an irAE. With the increasing application of ICPIs for different cancers, in conjunction with potential risks for irAE, the liver profile should be closely monitored during treatment with ICPI as well as with anti-TNF-α agents in this patient population.
