Hepatotoxicity refers to the ability of certain substances to cause damage to the liver. This can occur due to various factors such as chemical exposure, drug toxicity, viral infections, or autoimmune diseases. Hepatotoxicity can range from mild elevation in liver enzymes to severe liver damage and failure. Researchers in the field of hepatotoxicity study the mechanisms by which substances can cause liver damage, identify risk factors for hepatotoxicity, develop new methods for predicting and assessing liver toxicity, and explore potential treatments for liver damage. Understanding hepatotoxicity is important for improving drug safety, preventing liver damage in occupational settings, and managing liver diseases.
