Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury: an overview

Abstract: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) encompasses a spectrum of clinical disease ranging from mild biochemical abnormalities to acute liver failure. The majority of adverse liver reactions are idiosyncratic, occurring in most instances 5-90 days after the causative medication was last taken. The diagnosis of DILI is clinical, based on history, probability of the suspect medication as a cause of liver injury and exclusion of other hepatic disease. DILI can be hepatocellular (predominant rise in alanine transaminase)… Show more

“…Although the risk of liver damage related to NSAID use is thought to be rare, several reviews have identified NSAIDs as the most common drugs to cause liver injury. 32,[84][85][86][87][88][89][90] The estimated incidence of NSAID-associated hepatotoxicity is between 3 and 23 per 100,000 patientyears. 87 Risk factors for NSAID-induced hepatotoxicity include P = 0.025 for ibuprofen Table 2).…”

“…The mechanisms are explained in more detail below. The type of liver injury induced by a potential hepatotoxic agent can be classified clinically by the relative rise of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) [Hussaini and Farrington, 2007]. The pathogenesis involves direct hepatotoxicity by the drug or a reactive metabolite, and adverse immune reactions, usually triggered by hepatic damage [Holt and Ju, 2006].…”
