TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Drug-induced liver injury after soy protein supplement use JO - ACG case reports journal A1 - Pillai, Ajish A1 - Thapar, Manish SP - 178 EP - 180 VL - 2 IS - 3 N2 - Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important and often elusive cause of iatrogenic hepatic injury which complicates its recognition and treatment. We describe a rare case of severe liver injury in a previously healthy individual associated with a commonly used and reportedly safe soy protein powder supplement. Discontinuation of the supplements and initiation of ursodeoxycholic acid provided symptomatic relief, decreased pruritus, and resulted in a resolution of hepatic panel labs.
