What are the Treatment Options for Hepatotoxicity?
Treatment primarily focuses on removing the offending agent and supportive care. Discontinuing the use of the causative drug or substance is the first step. In cases of acetaminophen overdose, activated charcoal or N-acetylcysteine may be administered to prevent further damage. Supportive care includes maintaining proper hydration, nutrition, and monitoring liver function. In severe cases, a liver transplant may be necessary.
