Brief Summary
DILI is an underdiagnosed and under appreciated causal or contributing factor to liver injury. DILI can mimics features of the entire spectrum of acute and chronic liver disease. Asia-Pacifc region is characterized by two unique features; the high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in the population and the ubiquitous use of traditional and complimentary medicines.Current definition of Hy's law presents significant difficulties when dealing with patients with preexisting CLD in clinical trials. Hallmark of the hepatic manifestation in these patients is hyperbilirubinemia and coagulopathy rather than ALT elevation.
