Abstract:
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) represents a complex clinical problem, both in terms of diagnosis and of therapeutic approach. When the suspected treatment is a psychotropic drug, the role of the liaison psychiatrist is not limited to the re-adaptation of the drug treatment. In this article, with a clinical case as an example, we will discuss the issues to deal with facing a perturbation of liver enzymes in a patient on psychotropic treatment. The risk and benefit assessment of a therapeutic window, as well as the overall care of the patient at the general hospital will be detailed.
