Integrated evidence chain-based identificationof Chinese herbal medicine-induced hepatotoxicity and rational usage:Exemplification by Polygonum Multiflorum (He shouwu)
2016
Toxicity and adverse drug reactions (events) related to Chinese
herbal medicines (CHMs) have been reported increasingly and stirred
discussion within the public, media, government and academia, of which
hepatotoxicity has become prominent problems in recent years, especially
for those CHMs not conventionally considered of toxicity, for instance, Polygonum Multiflorum Thunb. (He shou wu in Chinese). Nowadays,
clinical diagnosis for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) mainly adopts
the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) and the structured
expert opinion process (SEOP). However, the accurate diagnosis of
DILI is still the international challenge due to a lack of specific
diagnosis indicators. Herb-induced liver injury (HILI), nevertheless,
is more difficult to diagnosis and sometimes exists misdiagnosis,
by reason of the complexity of both the composition of CHMs and combinational
prescription of CHMs and western medicines in clinic.
