Die Schädigungen können von leichter und reversibler bis tödlicher Ausprägung sein. Da das Erkennen einer arzneimittelinduzierten Leberschädigung aufgrund des unspezifischen Beschwerdebildes und der zeitlichen Latenz sehr schwierig ist, ist ein hohes Maß an klinischer Aufmerksamkeit zur Diagnosestellung erforderlich.

Besondere Bedeutung gewinnt dieses Thema, da arzneimittelinduzierte Leberschäden die häufigste Ursache eines akuten Leberversagens in den Industrienationen sind (Ostapowicz et al. 2002). Ebenso sind sie der häufigste Grund von Fehlschlägen in der Arzneimittelentwicklung, von Rücknahme von Medikamenten aus dem Markt bzw....
