    TLDR Too much vitamin A can cause liver damage and skin issues.
    The paper described two adult cases of chronic hypervitaminosis A, highlighting the variability in the dosage-duration relationship of vitamin A intake. One patient developed hepatic cirrhosis due to long-term frequent ingestion of beef liver, marking the first reported case of such a condition induced by this dietary habit. The study underscored the potential severe hepatic and dermatologic manifestations of chronic vitamin A toxicity in adults.
