Objectives & background: Drug-induced hepatotoxicity (DIH) is a common side effect of anti-TB drugs. Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) may be confounded with chronic alcoholic clinically, biochemically, and histologically (CAH). Place Study: Rashid Latif Medical College Lahore Duration March 2019 to January 2021 Methods: This prospective research examined the acute as contributing confounding fac...

background: hepatitis b with its complications has become one of the universal problems. injection drug use is one of the most important risk factors in the transmission of hepatitis b. therefore, we assessed hepatitis b virus prevalence among cases with a history of intravenous drug use (ivdu) as the first announcement-based study in this regard. materials and methods: the announcement based d...

Background: Dengue is the most common disease that has caused mortality throughout Pakistan as it can cause diversified complications ranging from slightly deranged liver function tests to acute hepatitis and failure. Objective: To determine prevalence of in dengue patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study September November 2022 at department Medicine MMC General Hospital tertiar...

Drug-induced liver diseases (DILD) are clinico-pathologic patterns of liver injury caused by drugs or other foreign compounds. Steatohepatitis is a rare form of DILD, and drugs account for fewer than 2% of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Drugs known to be capable of inducing steatosis and steatohepatitis can be divided into three broad groups: those that cause steatosis and steatohepatiti...

The diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a challenging problem, often confounded by incomplete clinical information and the difficulty of eliciting exposure to herbal products, over-the-counter agents and toxins. The task is further rendered difficult on biopsy, as drugs can mimic all the patterns found in primary liver disease. Acute hepatitis, with or without cholestasis, is the m...

A 24-year-old female patient presented to her community hospital with mild elevations of serum transaminase and bilirubin levels. Because of multiple sclerosis, she was treated with interferon beta-1a for 6 weeks. After exclusion of viral hepatitis due to hepatitis A-E, interferon beta-1a was withdrawn under the suspicion of drug-induced hepatitis. One week later, she was admitted again to her ...

conclusions hepatotoxicity of halogenated inhalational anesthetics has been well documented in available literature. halothane-induced liver injury was extensively acknowledged; however, the next generation halogenated anesthetics have different molecular structures and associated with less hepatotoxicity. although anesthesia-induced hepatitis is not a common occurrence, we must consider the as...

research on assessing craving in laboratory settings often involves inducing and then measuring craving in subjects. cue-induced craving is studied in laboratory settings using the cue reactivity paradigm, in which drug-related photos, videos, evocative scripts, olfactory cues, and paraphernalia may induce craving. cue-induced craving evoked by drug-related stimuli could be associated with rela...
