Attention is paid to exclusion of genetic-metabolic liver disease in diagnosis of childhood drug-induced liver injury / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common disease in children with non-infectious liver di-seases, but there is no specific diagnostic method.Genetic-metabolic liver disease is a rare disease with low social recognition and requiring special examination to be diagnosed.The clinical manifestations of the 2 diseases are similar and complex, so it is easy to misdiagnose genetic-metabolic liver disease as DILI.In clinical practice, it is necessary to raise the awareness of excluding genetic-metabolic liver diseases in the diagnosis of DILI, so as to avoid misdiagnosis.
