Fragmento

One of the highlights of this issue of Annals of Hepatology is the analysis of DILI cases from India by Rathi, et al., since all cases were prospectively evaluated with RUCAM, the widely used tool for causality assessment worldwide. This approach provided valuable well-established results on various aspects of DILI. The study of Rathi, et al. from the Department of Gastroenterology of the Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General Hospital in Sion, Mumbai, Maharashtra in India is an outstanding report on drug induced liver injury (DILI) and will serve as a paradigm how future cases of DILI should be analyzed and prepared for publication. Their careful analysis of a 2-year single center prospective cohort study illustrates the challenging aspects of DILI and especially causality assessment.
