Clinical Trial: Identifying Changes in Blood (Potential Biomarkers) in Individuals With Drug-Induced Liver Injury
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Identification of New Biomarkers of Drug Induced Liver Injury
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to try to develop new blood tests that may help doctors identify if a drug is hurting a person's liver.
Detailed Summary: Our hypothesis is that there are liver-specific particles, called mRNA, that are identifiable in a person's blood sample during liver injury caused by some drugs. The purpose of this study is to try to develop new blood tests that may help doctors identify if a drug is hurting a person's liver, perhaps early in the process before significant injury or illness have occurred.
