Biomarkers of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) are essential for the diagnosis of severe cases of DILI in clinical trials and clinical practice, but the currently used biomarker paradigm detects damage after it has occurred and has limited prognostic value. The development of new biomarker strategies that improve the diagnosis of DILI by providing increased specificity and/or by identifying individual patients who are at risk for DILI is therefore crucial.

药物性肝损伤(DILI)的生物标志物对于临床试验和临床实践中严重 DILI 的诊断至关重要,但目前使用的生物标志物方法仅在损伤发生后进行检测,其预后价值有限。因此,开发新的生物标志物策略对于提高 DILI 的诊断具有重要意义,这些策略可通过提高特异性和/或识别出有 DILI 风险的个体患者来实现。详见相关研究,http://genomemedicine.com/content/5/9/86。
