Single-Center Experience With Drug-Induced Liver Injury From India: Causes, Outcome, Prognosis, and Predictors of Mortality

Abstract

DILI results in significant overall mortality (17.3%). ATDs, anti-convulsants, sulphonamides, and olanzapine are the leading causes of DILI. Although common in males, more females developed fulminant hepatic failure. High-MELD score or a combination of ascites, encephalopathy, high bilirubin, prothrombin time, and leukocyte count are predictive of mortality.
