Abstract:
Nowadays, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is attracting more and more attention during clinical medication and drug research and development. This article introduces the characteristics of DILI in the elderly from the aspects of epidemiology, predisposing factors, clinical features, common drugs inducing DILI, and prognosis, and points out that the health education for the elderly should be enhanced and the elderly should be instructed to use drugs rationally. When adverse events occur, treatment should be given in time and treatment regimen should be adjusted.
