Abstract

El daño hepático tóxico inducido por fármacos se está convirtiendo en un problema de salud de importancia creciente. Es una de las afecciones hepáticas más complejas debido a su posible gravedad y a lo difícil de establecer un diagnóstico de certeza en la mayoría de los casos. Puede ser provocado por el consumo de plantas medicinales y suplementos dietéticos.
