Abstract:
Objective To analyze the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and to explore the corresponding nursing interventions. Methods From January 2011 to December 2013, a total of 84 patients with chronic drug-induced liver injury in Beijing You'an Hospital were recruited by convenience sampling method according to the diagnostic criteria of Guidelines for the Management of Drug-Induced Liver Injury. The demographic characteristics, the possible drugs and clinical characteristics were inputted into Epidata management database and were analyzed using SPSS 16.0. Results In the study, there were 132 kinds of drugs which induced chronic liver injury. Thirty-three of all the recruited patients were using over 2 kinds of medications, among which traditional Chinese medicine accounted for 47.0%, which were mainly used for dermatopathy, rheumatosis and healthcare. The second were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antituberculosis drugs. Fifty-six patients had underlying diseases, accounting for 66.7%, of which 16 patients had more than 2 underlying diseases. The main clinical manifestations were fatigue, anorexia and jaundice. 14.3% of the patients showed complications. Conclusions The incidence of drug-induced liver injury was increasing with years. It's important to conduct the health education of drug-using safety, especially to the elderly women and the ones with underlying diseases. The course of chronic liver injury was long and tends to relapse, so it's essential to observe the reaction to drugs and take correspondent measures during the nursing work. Besides, we need to pay much attention to psychological counseling of the patients.
