Latest advances in diagnosing and predicting DILI: What was new in 2017?. - 2018

INTRODUCTION: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remains an increasingly recognized cause of hepatotoxicity and liver failure worldwide. In 2017, we continued to learn about predicting, diagnosing, and prognosticating drug hepatotoxicity. Areas covered: In this review, we selected from over 1200 articles from 2017 to synopsize updates in DILI. There were new HLA haplotypes associated with medications including HLA-C0401 and HLA-B*14. There has been continued work with quantitative systems pharmacology, particularly with the DILIsym initiative, which employs mathematical representations of DILI mechanisms to predict hepatotoxicity in simulated populations. Additionally, knowledge regarding microRNAs (miRNAs) continues to expand. Some new miRNAs this past year include miRNA-223 and miRNA-605. Aside from miRNAs, other biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and even prediction of DILI were explored. Studies on K18, OPN, and MCSFR have correlated DILI and liver-associated death within 6 months. Conversely, a new prognostic panel using apolipoportein-A1 and haptoglobin has been proposed to predict recovery. Further study of CDH5 has also provided researchers a possible new biomarker for prediction and susceptibility to DILI. Expert commentary: Although research on DILI remains quite promising, there is yet to be a reliable, simple method to predict, diagnose, and risk assess this form of hepatotoxicity.
