Turmeric is a common herbal supplement used for its possible anti-inflammatory and other properties. It is marketed as safe with few reports of major adverse effects directly related to oral supplementation. We report a case of turmeric supplement-induced liver injury in a 49-year-old woman admitted with elevated aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase with no history of liver disease or alcohol use disorder. Thus, this case re-emphasizes the importance of evaluating herbal and dietary supplements as potential drug-induced liver injury causes.
姜黄是一种常见的草药补充剂，因其可能具有的抗炎及其他特性而被使用。它在市场上被宣传为安全产品，很少有与口服补充剂直接相关的重大不良反应报告。我们报告了一例49岁女性因服用姜黄补充剂导致肝损伤的病例，该患者因天冬氨酸转氨酶和丙氨酸转氨酶升高入院，既往无肝病或酒精使用障碍病史。因此，该病例再次强调了评估草药和膳食补充剂作为药物性肝损伤潜在病因的重要性。
