Medical Conditions - Hepatotoxicity

Hepatotoxicity refers to injury and damage occurring to the liver cells. Here the toxicity is caused by various chemical substances assaulting the liver cells over time. Some of them are drugs like chemotherapeutic agents, overdosage of acetaminophen, and more. Also, other chemicals that enter the body by ingestion or inspiration also get deposited in the liver, slowly damaging the liver cells with their potency.
