| Core Tip |
Worldwide research on herbal medicine safety is still limited. Adverse effects are range from clinically not relevant to more severe ones including suspected liver injury. We conducted a prospective hospital-based study to report the number of new liver injury in patients with no liver disease prior to treatment with herbal Traditional Chinese Medicine. Liver injury was detected in 26/21470 patients (0.12%) with alanine aminotransferase values of ≥ 5 × upper limit normal. The Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method assessed the causality of suspected cases and showed a causality level of “possible” for the majority of the liver injury cases. |
