ABSTRACT |
Currently, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has been reported to be common cause of acute hepatitis, and oriental medicine and folk remedies are no exception. However, because many studies about DILI have been reported by western medical society, they has taken the initiative of DILI not only for western drugs but also herbs. So, academia of oriental medicine should make an effort to progress herb-related DILI studies. We describe a patient of acute liver injury which had been caused by comfrey, albizzia julibrissin, ulmus davidiana var. japonica, red ginseng. We hope that this report helps for studying the diagnosis and management of herb-derived DILI, and for establishing a standard of oriental therapy to DILI. |
