Abstract

To diagnose liver injury related to Kampo medicine accurately is not easy. Lymphocyte transformation tests are likely to give a false positive for Kampo medicine. Diagnostic criteria with a scoring system provide low specificity for the diagnosis of Kampo-related liver injury. This article intends to outline the problems with diagnosing Kampo-induced hepatic injury, and to review previous studies to shed light on its incidence and clinical features. Kampo-related liver injury incidence was 0.1% or less, and that related to Scutellariae Radix was 0.5-1.0% in the literature. The symptoms, types, and recovery periods were similar to those for western drug-related liver injuries.
