More and more case reports on rare toxicities have been published in the literature (ie, hepatotoxicities, hyperammonemic encephalopathy, coagulation disorders, pancreatitis, thrombocytopenia). In spite of the long history of VPA, there is a lack of awareness of VPA toxicities among clinicians. We present two cases of a 44-year-old African American female and a 60-year-old Hispanic male taking chronic VPA therapy for psychiatric disorders admitted to the hospital with a combination of hepatotoxicities and acute kidney injury\u2013associated rhabdomyolysis. In both cases, home VPA therapy was continued during hospitalization. Consequently, the female patient deceased and the male patient survived and discharged with continuation of his chronic VPA therapy. In cases of surviving patients, resumption of maintenance VPA upon discharge should be held and alternative therapy should be considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0897190019882880","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,28]],"date-time":"2019-10-28T23:00:33Z","timestamp":1572303633000},"page":"648-652","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Rhabdomyolysis and Hepatotoxicity From Valproic Acid: Case Reports"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3379-1753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cucnhat P.","family":"Walker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Larkin University, Miami, FL, USA"},{"name":"Larkin Community Hospital, South Campus, Miami, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Subrata","family":"Deb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Larkin University, Miami, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0897190019882880","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4254\/wjh.v7.i9.1251"},{"key":"bibr2-0897190019882880","unstructured":"US Food and Drug Administration.
