Einfach gesagt: Liver biopsies showed 'bland' canalicular cholestasis ... a high proportion of patients developed associated kidney injury, and peak bilirubin levels were very high.

- Two RUCAM-scored cases of anabolic-androgenic-steroid-induced liver injury plus a comprehensive literature review of AAS hepatotoxicity, the class to which methasterone belongs
- Liver biopsies showed the bland canalicular cholestasis characteristic of 17α-alkylated AAS, with very high peak bilirubin
- A high proportion of patients developed associated kidney injury — reinforcing the liver-plus-kidney pattern seen with Superdrol/methasteron
