Proteins in drug-induced liver injuries
2016-06-07 Last week, researchers from the Human Protein Atlas, together with others, published a study on drug-induced liver injury in the journal Liver International. Drug-induced liver injury is the single leading cause for termination of drug development and safety-related withdrawal of approved drugs from the market. In clinical practice, it accounts for more than 50% of liver failure cases and represents a major safety issue for patients. In some patients, drug-induced liver injury can cause severe injury leading to acute liver failure that can be life threatening and require liver transplantation...Read more |
