An ever increasing number of herbal remedies are recognized as potentially hepatotoxic. We report a case of fulminant hepatic failure requiring liver transplantation associated with the use of Ma huang, a traditional Chinese remedy containing ephedrine-type alkaloids. The literature surrounding the potential liver toxicities of Ma huang is reviewed and the proposed pathogenetic mechanisms are critically examined.
越来越多的草药疗法被认为具有潜在的肝毒性。我们报告一例暴发性肝衰竭病例，该病例需要进行肝移植，其与使用含有麻黄碱类生物碱的传统中药麻黄有关。本文回顾了围绕麻黄潜在肝脏毒性的文献，并对提出的发病机制进行了严格审查。
