About this trial

A prospective, multi-center, non-interventional cohort study is going to conduct to explore the clinical characteristics, culprit drug(s) or herb(s), outcomes and risk factors of Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in China and screen novel serum markers.

A prognostic model incorporating with the novel serum marker(s) for DILI would be established and validated to imporve the prognosis of patients in China .

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

RUCAM ≥6 and met one of the following biochemical conditions: (1) ALT≥5 ULN, (2) or ALP ≥2 ULN, (3) or ALT≥3 ULN and TBil≥2 ULN.

RUCAM between 3-5, five experienced hepatologists in leading site evaluate and vote the diagnosis of DILI, the case would be enrolled if only ≥4 out of 5 hepatologists agree with the diagnosis.

Onset to enrollment ≤3 months.

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

death/liver transplantation

DILI has a primary, contributory role for the death (liver-related mortality) or no role for the death (all-cause mortality) . DILI is the primary indication for liver transplantation.

Time frame
1 year
2

acute liver failure

Acute liver failure is defined as elevated bilirubin and prolonged international normalized ratio (INR) ≥1.5 accompanied by mental disturbance within 26 weeks after DILI onset without underlying chronic liver diseases.

Time frame
1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

chronic DILI

Chronicity is defined as the presence of any one of the following: (i) persistently elevated liver biochemistry indexes; (ii) radiological or histological evidence of persistent liver injury at one year after DILI onset.

Time frame
2 years
2

recovery

Recovery status is defined as clinical and biochemical resolution within 1 year after DILI onset, with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤40 U/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤150 U/L, and total bilirubin (TB) ≤1.5 upper limits of normal (ULN) (25.65 μmol/L).

Time frame
