Steroids for drug-induced liver injury with high bilirubin
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether steroids (glucocorticoids) can help people with acute liver injury caused by a drug, especially when bilirubin levels are high. It aims to see if steroids can reduce liver damage and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of acute drug-induced liver injury (liver damage from a medication).
- Your bilirubin level (a measure of liver function) must be between 5 and 20 times the normal upper limit.
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You cannot have other causes of liver injury, like viral hepatitis, alcohol-related liver disease, or autoimmune disease.
- You cannot have taken steroids in the past 3 months or need ongoing steroid therapy.
- You cannot have severe kidney problems, active infections, or certain other serious health conditions.

This trial tests whether a treatment called plasmapheresis (plasma exchange) can help people with severe liver damage caused by medications when they also have chronic liver disease. The treatment filters the blood to remove harmful substances, which may improve liver function and recovery.
This trial builds a prediction model to identify drug-related liver injury (DILI) by looking at your blood test patterns, timing, and expert diagnosis. It may help improve how doctors recognize this condition earlier and more accurately.
This study is looking at how often drug-induced liver injury occurs and how it affects patients over time. If you join, researchers will track your health to learn more about recovery and long-term outcomes.
This study puts people with a past drug- or herbal-related liver injury into a research registry. The goal is to better understand why the injury happens so doctors can prevent and recognize it sooner.
This study follows people who developed liver injury from a medicine (not from other causes). It aims to better describe different types and severities of drug-related liver injury and may help improve how clinicians recognize and manage it.
This study tests whether prednisone, a steroid that reduces inflammation, can help people with severe liver injury caused by a medication. It might help if your liver tests are still high even after stopping the medicine that caused the problem.
