A Rare Case of Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) From Topiramate. [PDF]
A 72-year-old male individual with a past medical history of seizures and ongoing management with topiramate for two months presented at the emergency department with jaundice. Ten days before the presentation, the patient started feeling fatigued and had intermittent generalized mild pain (grade 3/10) with dark-brown discoloration of urine.

Mechanism of idiosyncratic drug induced liver injury (DILI): unresolved basic issues. [PDF]
Clinical features of idiosyncratic drug induced liver injury (DILI) are well described in cases that have been assessed for causality using the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM), but our understanding of the mechanistic steps leading to injury is fragmentary.

Mortality associated with drug-induced liver injury (DILI). [PDF]
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important cause of liver failure and liver injury leading to transplantation, although in most cases self-remitting when administration of the offending drug is stopped (1-3). In rare cases DILI can lead to a persistent/chronic form of injury (4).

Case of cholestatic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) associated with black cohosh. [PDF]
Drug-induced liver injury is an uncommon yet fatal cause of liver injury. Black cohosh is a herbal supplement that is derived from Actaea racemosa. It has been used for vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women, but it can cause liver injury. A 50-year-old Afro-American woman presented with a 2-month history of malaise, itching and severe jaundice ...

Prediction and mechanistic analysis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) based on chemical structure. [PDF]
Abstract Background: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major safety concern characterized by a complex and diverse pathogenesis. In order to identify DILI early in drug development, a better understanding of the injury and models with better predictivity are urgently needed.

Role of Corticosteroids in Drug-Induced Liver Injury. A Systematic Review
Introduction: Apart from cessation of the implicated agent leading to drug-induced liver injury (DILI), there is no standard therapy for DILI. Corticosteroids have been used in DILI, although their efficacy is unclear.
