Excess vitamin A injures the liver.
1990
Chronic vitamin A intoxication in a 56-year-old female is reported. Some abnormal blood chemistries included elevated transaminase and alkaline phosphatase, increased cerebrospinal fluid and portal pressure, and elevated vitamin A in blood and liver. A liver biopsy indicated histologic evidence of perisinusoidal collagen deposition and noncoalescent fat droplets in Ito cells. Caution against the misdiagnosis of alcoholic cirrhosis for vitamin A intoxication is recommended.
