| Core Tip |
This case describes acute liver failure temporally associated with intensive consumption of Plantago major tea in a previously healthy 44-year-old woman. After consuming approximately 2 L/day of prepared infusion for 15 consecutive days, she developed progressive hepatic dysfunction and grade III hepatic encephalopathy, ultimately requiring urgent liver transplantation. Explant histology demonstrated nonspecific massive hepatic necrosis and marked cholestasis. Although the temporal relationship raises suspicion for herb-induced liver injury, causality cannot be definitively established because the herbal preparation was not botanically authenticated or chemically analyzed. |
