SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book discusses drug-induced hepatotoxicity in its entirety from details of molecular mechanisms to clinical case presentations. Special features of drug-induced hepatotoxicity during pregnancy, in pediatric practice, and in the elderly are described. It is complemented by a complete index of all drugs and a comprehensive table of contents allows ready access to all of the knowledge concerning each drug and each class of drugs. Special features include chapters on Reye's syndrome, in vitro models of liver toxicity, hepatic encephalopathy, and alcohol-induced liver injury. The reader will benefit from the scholarly approach to the subject, from the detailed discussions of mechanims and from the attention to details of hepatic responses to each drug.
