ResumoAnabolic androgenic steroid use has grown, particularly in amateur sports and, although they are illegal substances, sportsmen have easy access to them.Many side effects are associated with consumption of these substances; hepatotoxicity is one of the most reported.The authors describe 2 patients with hepatotoxicity related to consumption of anabolic androgenic steroid use.Both showed considerable morbidity, but none developed fulminant hepatic failure.The authors aim to draw attention to anabolic steroid use, particularly among young amateur sportsmen.
