introduction drug-induced liver injury is a frequent cause of hepatic dysfunction. several drugs have been identified to cause autoimmune hepatitis (aih). environmental chemicals are capable of triggering a certain degree of liver injury. however, toxin induced aih is rare. conclusions chronic (long-term) exposures to dichlorvos can lead to aih. a detailed inquiry of medical history and liver b...

conclusions in conclusion, we have shown that vitamin c administration provides protection against csa-induced injury in rat liver function and may have hepatoprotective role in the patients experiencing csa treatment. background cyclosporine a (csa) is an important immunosuppressive agent; however, its clinical use is limited by several side effects such as hepatotoxicity. vitamin c (ascorbic ...

background:methotrexate (mtx) is one of the most commonly used disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (ra) which can be associated with toxic effects on different organs. this study was designed to investigate the hepatotoxic effects in ra patients treated with mtx. methods: in this cross-sectional observational study, ra patients who received standard do...

introduction and objectives: tuberculosis (tb) still remains a major health concern both in developing and developed countries. the rate of the liver injury due to anti-tb drugs in developed countries has been reported up to 4%. the goal of this study is to assess the rate and risk factors for anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (dili). also, a model has been designed to predict dili in...

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...

the incidence of drug induced liver injury (dili) is about 1/1000 to 1/10000 among patients who receive therapeutic drug doses. drug induced hepatotoxicity is a major cause of acute and chronic liver disease. the severity of liver damage ranges from nonspecific changes in liver structure to acute liver failure, cirrhosis and liver cancer. some common agents that can cause liver injury are aceta...

: Cardiopulmonary surgery is associated with risk of liver dysfunction due to hypoperfusion, release mediators by macrophages and drug induced injury.

Liver being vulnerable to exogenous substances makes disease associated with it a matter of worldwide concern. Several research thus focus on hepatoprotection .Preventive and therapeutic activity plants as hepatoprotective agent is topic interest for researchers. Hepatotoxic agents like carbon tetrachloride, paracetamol, isoniazide etc. increase the serum biomarkers liver where ALT more specifi...

Drug-induced liver injury is a frequent cause of hepatic dysfunction. Reliably establishing whether the liver disease was caused by a drug requires the exclusion of other plausible causes and the search for a clinical drug signature. The drug signature consists of the pattern of liver test abnormality, the duration of latency to symptomatic presentation, the presence or absence of immune-mediat...
