Establishment of Drug-induced Liver Injury Databases and Application of Circulating miRNA

The purpose of the study is to establish drug-induced liver injury databases in China, make criteria for Chinese drug-induced liver injury patients and evaluate the application of certain circulating miRNA in diagnosis or treatment of drug-induced liver injury.

Firstly, this study collects some retrospective data. Analyse these data and establish certain unique diagnostic criteria for Chinese. Then collect prospective data and validate the criteria. Otherwise,collect blood sample or other sample of the patients and study certain miRNA in diagnosis or treatment of drug-induced liver injury.

• Written informed consent can be obtained, some patients agree with liver biopsy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Viral hepatitis
• Alcoholic liver disease or non-alcoholic liver disease
• Wilson's disease or other inherited metabolic liver diseases
