| Core Tip |
In South Korea, the number of toxic liver injuries caused by herbal and folk remedies is increasing. Although positive views on folk remedies are widespread and patients who have been hospitalized with toxic liver injury are often re-hospitalized, no studies have been conducted on the correlation between toxic liver injury and anxiety or depression. This multi-center nation-wide prospective study showed the anxiety and depression propensities in patients with toxic liver injury. Psychological factors that lead to vulnerability to the temptation to use alternative medicines, such as herbs and plant preparations, are important to better understand toxic liver injury.
