Abstract

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are responsible for 3% to 10% of idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) cases in the Western world.1–3 Ibuprofen is a widely prescribed NSAID avail- able as over-the-counter medication (OTC), and perceived as having a better safety profile than many other NSAIDs. Interestingly, striking regional differences in the frequency of ibuprofen hepatotoxicity were noted in a comparison of causative DILI agents among large DILI cohorts in 2010.4 Based on the limited information available on this type of DILI, we aimed to analyze the clinical presentation of ibuprofen-associated hepatotox- icity in the search for a potential drug signature.
