[Promoting translational research on drug-induced liver injury].

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the most important drug-induced diseases and an important reason for failure to obtain approval, an increase in warnings, and withdrawal from market. DILI has a complex clinical phenotype and can cause almost all types of acute, subacute, and chronic liver injury, and it may cause liver failure and even death in patients with severe conditions. The diversity of drugs involved and heterogeneity of populations are the main reasons for unpredictability of most DILI cases in clinical practice. Therefore, the prediction, diagnosis, and treatment of DILI become challenging issues in the field of liver disease, and it is of great significance to strengthen clinical translational research in this aspect, so as to transform more achievements into actual diagnostic and treatment methods.
