Most people do not understand the drug-induced hepatitis

19-year-old university student Li Recently fever, cough, sore throat and other symptoms, that is cold, they buy their own drug use, after two days did not alleviate the symptoms, but also given a free hand for the other two drugs taken together, after taking body temperature quickly returned to normal, gradually reduce cold symptoms, but a week after the beginning of the current weakness, nausea and other symptoms, there was progressive increase of skin, yellow sclera, the feeling does not come to the hospital. According to the director of admissions Peace Hospital of PLA Liver Center Sun Dianxing introduction, after inspection, Li suffering from drug-induced hepatitis. Li did not understand: how the medication will get that drug-induced hepatitis, this is the first time I heard that there is such a disease.

孙殿兴 According to reports, in recent years, with the increase in the types of drugs and the importance of liver injury, the incidence of drug-induced hepatitis was significantly increased 3% to 10% of hospitalized patients in clinical liver disease. Existing be explicitly considered liver damage as many as 900 kinds of chemical drugs, while many food additives, ingredients and health unknown herbal medicine can lead to liver damage. Drug-induced hepatitis accounts for about 15% of adverse drug reactions. 孙殿兴 said: "It is noteworthy that many people do not understand the drug-induced hepatitis, some when treatment has been to a more serious level."

孙殿兴 According to reports, drug-induced hepatitis refers to drug use, hepatotoxicity or liver damage due to drug or its metabolites on allergic reactions caused by drugs and metabolites caused by the disease. Generally occurs within six months after treatment, the majority in 1-4 weeks, common symptoms of malaise, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, itching, right upper quadrant discomfort, in addition, the body skin yellow dye, urine color deepened, etc. may signal liver damage.

The liver is the largest internal digestive organs, is the drug concentration, conversion, and major organs metabolism, if the drug with toxic side effects, is naturally bear the brunt of the damage to the liver. Studies for hospitalized cases due to drug-induced hepatitis retrospective study found that herbal account first, followed by anticancer drugs, antibiotics, anti-TB drugs, lipid-lowering drugs, psychotropic drugs, antidiabetic drugs, medicine slimming beauty and so on.

Specific to each person whether liver damage after treatment, in addition to the role of the drug itself, and there is a large genetic relationship, not everyone after medication will lead to drug-induced hepatitis. Personal constitution itself is poor, but also for many drugs, food allergies, or because a particular disease and eat a lot of complex components of traditional Chinese medicine, may lead to drug-induced hepatitis. Such as allergies, even if the amount of medication in a safe dose range may lead to drug-induced hepatitis, and liver disease if underlying diseases, liver damage is very serious in itself, slightly toxic drugs may cause serious drug-induced hepatitis.
