Abstract
Children are considered less susceptible to drug hepatotoxicity than adults. This is thought to be due to differences in their hepatic drug metabolism which protect against drug hepatotoxicity. However, most children take fewer medications than adults. Children are less likely to be obese; they generally do not smoke or drink. Drug hepatotoxicity does occur in children, and adolescents may be at equivalent risk for drug hepatotoxicity as adults. Difficulties in diagnosing drug hepatotoxicity in children. and consequent underreporting of these adverse drug reactions. may also contribute to the perceived rarity of pediatric hepatic drug reactions.
