Popis: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a relevant issue in clinical practice and is still a diagnosis of exclusion. Despite the low incidence in the general population, DILI is the cause of most cases of acute hepatic injury and has a mortality rate of up to 50%. Despite many reports in the medical literature about the DILI mechanisms, a clear causal relationship between them, drugs, and risk factors has not been established. Current clinical practice is based on a combination of a thorough study of a history of risk factors, the timing of drug and dietary supplements' administration, and the analysis of laboratory and instrumental tests. It aligns with the international criteria of the Rousell Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM), which is considered one of the main diagnostic algorithms for DILI. The article addresses current DILI classification, risk factors, diagnostic algorithms, causalities, clinical evaluation, promising liver function biomarkers, and specific treatment.
