A Multicenter, Longitudinal Study of Drug- and CAM-Induced Liver Injury

The goal of this NIH study is to prospectively identify bona fide cases of liver injury due to drugs and complementary and alternative medications (CAM) within 6 months of onset. Clinical data, blood, DNA, and urine will be collected from affected patients and matched controls for mechanistic and genetic studies.

Study Design

  • All subjects have a baseline and 6-month follow-up visit at the GCRC that includes: surveys, medical history, blood and urine collection.
  • Patients with liver injury at 6 months return for 12- and 24-month visits.

Costs

  • Costs of study lab tests provided by sponsor (NIDDK).
  • Subjects receive $50 for each completed study visit.
