Description
Zheng-Qing Shen and co-authors report a case where a heart drug left the liver looking like it was loaded with iron. Their 2026 case report covers amiodarone, a drug for uneven heartbeat that is known to harm the liver. The bright liver sign on scans pointed first to the wrong cause.
The patient was an older woman who had taken the drug for five months. She had repeated nausea and vomiting, and liver enzyme levels kept rising. A chest scan showed a dense liver, which first suggested an iron storage disease. Deeper scans and normal iron tests told against that reading. After the drug was stopped, her symptoms cleared and enzyme levels returned to normal. The case warns readers not to trust one scan sign alone.
