GlossaryHepatotoxicity

refers to liver damage caused by chemicals or drugs

Hepatotoxicity, also known as liver toxicity, refers to liver damage caused by chemicals, drugs, or natural substances. It can result in a range of liver dysfunctions, from mild enzyme elevations to severe liver failure. This condition is significant in both clinical and pharmacological contexts, as the liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing substances, and its impairment can lead to serious health consequences.
