Drug-Induced Hepatitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Drug-induced hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by the body's reaction to certain substances, medications, or products that are consumed. The liver, responsible for processing many of these substances, can be damaged in the process.
How it may present: fatigue, discomfort in the upper right side of the abdomen, nausea, yellowing of the skin or eyes, and changes in the color of the urine.
What makes it distinctive: it is usually related to the use of some product, so keeping a detailed record of what is consumed is very useful for the specialist.
Who evaluates it? Drug-induced hepatitis is managed in gastroenterology, including pediatric gastroenterology in children. If you have liver-related symptoms and regularly take any product, it is advisable to discuss it with the specialist before making decisions on your own about what you consume.
