Paracetamol poisoning below toxic level causing liver damage in a fasting adult.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In many countries, paracetamol ranks at the top of all known poisoning agents implicated in accidental or intentional poisoning [1]. In general, liver injury caused by drugs is known to be either type A “dose dependent” (intrinsic toxicity) or type B idiosyncratic. Perhaps with the exception of single high dose of drug induced liver injury, most drug induced liver injury (DILI) cases evaluated in clinical practice are considered as idiosyncratic [2].

متن کاملAssessing the Effect of Leptin on Liver Damage in Case of Hepatic Injury Associated with Paracetamol Poisoning.

This trial was performed to histologically and biochemically investigate whether leptin was protective against liver damage induced by paracetamol at toxic doses. Material and Method. In our trial, 30 female...
