About this trial
A total of 407 hospitalized patients with acute liver injury in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were enrolled. The clinical information, biochemical examination, imageological examination (ultrasound, CT, MRI) and liver biopsy pathology of patients with acute liver injury will be collected. The diagnostic efficacy of RECAM and RUCAM in the diagnosis of DILI will be compared, and the consistency of different clinicians in the diagnosis of DILI using RECAM and RUCAM scores will also be compared.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Older than 18 years old
Acute liver injury within 3 months of onset and biochemical meeting one of the following criteria: ALT≥5 ULN; ALP≥2 ULN; ALT≥3 ULN and TBil≥2 ULN
The patients had a clear history of medication: the time from medication to onset, the time from drug withdrawal to onset, the time of the first laboratory test and the peak laboratory test, the reason for taking medication, the name of the drug, the dose of the drug, and the frequency. If the causative drug includes traditional Chinese medicine, the specific name of all the components or patent Chinese medicine in the prescription, a single drug or single component, or the main ingredient in the prescription causing liver injury should be provided
All the key data for RUCAM and RECAM can accurately be contained.
Disqualifiers
The incubation period cannot be accurately calculated: the dates of starting medication, stopping medication, and onset of illness cannot be accurately described, resulting in the inability to calculate the incubation period
Can not be clear about the pathogenic drug: the pathogenic drug is only described as "traditional Chinese medicine, cold medicine, antipyretic medicine", but cannot be clear about what kind of medicine
Missing biochemical data, resulting in inability to assess the time of 50% decrease in liver biochemistry (ALT or ALP, TBIL) from the peak after drug withdrawal
The cause of the patient's acute liver injury could not be determined
