Abstract
Amiodarone has an important drug in treatment for arrhythmia, but cannot be overlooked in practical medicine. Among the side effects associated with iodine contained in amiodarone, thyroid
dysfunction is well known, but steatohepatitis is rarely reported. We described a 65-year-old female, with history of amiodarone treatment for atrial fibrillation, presenting with dyspnea and
hand-tremor. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a high-density of liver parenchyma on nonenhanced
imaging which was compatible with the hepatotoxicity as of iodine accumulation. Thus, we report an unusual but important presentation of amiodarone hepatotoxicity.
