title: Iatrogenic hepatic injury.
abstract: Liver injury produced by therapeutic drugs is common, and has been increasing in incidence. Drug induced injury can mimic almost all varieties of liver disease.

When confronted with a patient suffering from liver disease, it is imperative for the physician to obtain an accurate history of drug administration.
