Abstract:
A recent study by Xiong Yu-Ting and colleagues has unveiled the clinical characteristics and risk factors of acute drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Upon reading the article, we found that there are some differences between female and male patients with DILI in terms of clinical and pathological features, especially in the number of patients, the degree of liver inflammation, and the risk of autoimmune liver disease. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to female patients with DILI and their outcomes, and to intervene appropriately in advance. This article analyzes the reasons for the differences between female and male patients with DILI and makes recommendations for patient prognosis.
