Mitochondrial injury contributes to severe drug-induced liver injury. Particularly, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is thought be relevant cytolytic hepatitis. However, the mechanism of MPT unclear and prediction not adequately evaluated in preclinical stage. In a previous study, we found that troglitazone, drug withdrawn due injury, induced via mild depolarization probably resultin...

the present study has been directed to investigate ursodeoxycholic acid (udca) effect in children, to reduce the high liver transaminases induced by anticonvulsant drugs (drug induced hepatitis). this idea has been driven from cytoprotective and antioxidant properties of udca to be used in drug induced inflammation in liver. twenty two epileptic patients aged between 4 mo - 3 yr whom were under...

Drug induced liver injury is responsible for 50% of acute liver failure in developed countries. Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicine have been linked to liver injury. This case describes the first documented case of Punarnava mandur and Kanchnar guggulu causing drug induced liver injury. Drug induced liver injury may be difficult to diagnosis, but use of multi-modalities tools including the ACG a...
