Adverse-event terms are based on the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, version 22.1. Hepatic enzyme increased includes the following terms: hepatic enzyme increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, and transaminases increased. Elevated hepatic enzymes resulted in discontinuation of remdesivir therapy in 2 patients.
