Abstract

Given the liver's role in drug metabolism, it is uniquely sensitive to potential drug-induced liver injury (DILI) despite inherent protective mechanisms. In this article, we focus on the most common causes of DILI and their patterns of injury. Although not comprehensive, we attempt to cover several classes of commonly used drugs, and their associated patterns of injury and management.

Keywords: Amiodarone; Antiepileptics; Antimicrobials; DILI; Immunotherapies.
