What are the Treatment Options for Hepatotoxicity?
The primary step in treating hepatotoxicity is discontinuing the offending agent. Supportive care, including hydration and nutritional support, can aid in recovery. In cases of acetaminophen toxicity, N-acetylcysteine is an effective antidote if administered early. For severe hepatotoxicity, hospitalization may be required, and in cases of liver failure, a liver transplant may be the only viable option.
