Jaundice induced by stanozolol hypersensitivity

Postgrad Med J. 1976 Apr;52(606):229-32. doi: 10.1136/pgmj.52.606.229.

Abstract

A 66-year-old male patient developed jaundice after 7 months of treatment with the anabolic steroid, stanozolol. When the drug was withdrawn he made a full and uneventful recovery. A liver biopsy showed the histology of a hypersensitivity reaction. This is believed to be the first time jaundice has been recorded with stanozolol therapy and the first time a hypersensitivity-type jaundice has been recorded with any anabolic steroid.
