Herbal or dietary supplements are the fourth most common cause of drug-induced acute hepatic necrosis requiring liver transplantation in the United States according to a study of liver transplant registry data.
Registry data for 2,408 adults who underwent urgent liver transplantation for acute hepatic necrosis between 2003 and 2015, 625 were recorded as having drug-induced liver injury. Of these, 21 were reportedly due to herbal or dietary supplements. All of which occurred after 2007. Eight cases were attributed to Lipolyze, Hydroxycut, testosterone, and OxyElite Pro, a muscle-building and weight-loss dietary supplement containing a blend of plant-derived extracts.
These supplements can result in the need for liver transplantation due to irreversible liver failure. The researchers believe these numbers are being underestimated as 154 cases did not record the drug being used. They also referred to other case reports and case series of liver transplantation occurring in individuals who had taken the supplements usnic acid, Herbalife, Hydroxycut, linoleic acid, black cohosh, Chinese herbs, kava kava, skullcap, ma huang, or bai fang herb.
Overall, the most common drug associated with drug-induced liver injury was acetaminophen, followed by anti-tuberculosis medications and antibiotics.
