Development and Validation of a Test to Identify Drugs That Cause Idiosyncratic Drug-Induced Liver Injury
Abstract
Background & aims Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (iDILI) is one of the most challenging diagnoses in hepatology. It is frequently impossible to identify the agent that has caused iDILI in patients who take multiple medicines. We developed an in vitro method to identify drugs that cause liver injury in patients, based on drug toxicity to monocyte-derived hepatocyte-like (MH) cells from patient blood samples. We then collected data on patients who were re-exposed to drugs found to be toxic in the MH test to validate test performance. Methods We performed a prospective study of patients referred to the University Hospital in Munich, Germany, with acute liver injury believed to be caused by medications (300 patients were enrolled in the study and we present data from 40 patients with iDILI and re-exposure to implicated drugs). We collected data from patients on medical history, laboratory test and imaging results, findings from biopsy analyses, and medications taken. Blood samples were collected from all patients and MH cells were isolated and cultured for 10 days. MH cells were then incubated with drugs to which each patient had been exposed, and toxicity was measured based on release of lactate dehydrogenase. Agents found to be toxic to MH cells were considered as candidates for the cause of liver injury. Patients were followed up for up to 6 months after liver injury and data on drug re-exposures and subsequent liver damage within the following 3 to 24 months were ass…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
