Abstract

Objectives Polygonum multiflorum is a popular Chinese herbal medication. In this case series, we report on 18 otherwise healthy non-viral hepatitis patients who developed liver dysfunction following consumption of P. multiflorum alone. Methods Concurrent and retrospective analysis was used in this study. The causality of P. multiflorum in liver injury was graded by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) toxicity scale. Results From 2005 to 2012, 18 cases of hepatotoxicity potentially involving P. multiflorum. The median age was 42 years old (range from 18 to 63). Median time of onset of symptoms was 27 days (1-120). Prevailing clinical symptoms were fatigue, loss of appetite and jaundice. Sixteen patients had elevated level of total bilirubin (>21 mol/L); liver enzymes elevated markedly in all patients (ALT>40 U/L, AST>40 U/L, GGT>50 U/L), except for alkaline phosphatase which elevated only in nine patients. Based on the liver enzyme pattern, the type of liver injuries were hepatocellular according to CIOMS. In terms of causality, 14 of 18 patients were evaluated as being highly probable. All patients were responding well to P. multiflorum stoppage, and liver protective-supportive care. Conclusions P. multiflorum products can be associated with hepatotoxicity in otherwise healthy non-viral hepatitis infected patients, regardless of herbal processing.

  • Starting as early as 2006 with an analysis from Hong Kong, an overall 21 reports of HILI cases were published which had been assessed for causality using RUCAM with results presented by groups with first authors having their working place in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan.

    “Starting as early as 2006 with an analysis from Hong Kong,18 an overall 21 reports of HILI cases were published which had been assessed for causality using RUCAM with results presented by groups with first authors having their working place in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan.18–38”
  • The case series of Dong et al. focuses on PM on a single herb causing HILI in 18 patients, with each having received an individual causality grading of probable or highly probable.

    “Similarly, the case series of Dong et al.23 focuses on PM on a single herb causing HILI in 18 patients, with each having received an individual causality grading of probable or highly probable.”
  • For 14/18 HILI patients in Dong et al., a highly probable causality grading was attributed.

    “Since for 14/18 HILI patients, a highly probable causality grading was attributed”
  • There is now increasing awareness of the benefits provided by RUCAM among various countries, including China, Korea, and Singapore, as evidenced by reports initially published in 2004 from Korea and in 2006 from China and Singapore, with subsequent articles.

  • On top among the Asian countries is currently China, best explained by the large population and heavy use of herbal traditional Chinese medicines, with increasing numbers of publications and cases until 2019.

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.
