Excerpt

One of the most important causes of liver dysfunction is drug-induced liver injury (DILI) which can lead to a wide spectrum of symptoms ranging from mild non-specific symptoms like asymptomatic transaminitis, acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cholestasis to liver failure. It can be caused by a multitude of prescription drugs, herbal and dietary supplements and commonly leads to withdrawal of the drug from the market.
