Current clinical use of silymarin in the treatment of toxic liver diseases: a case series
Toxic liver diseases consist of different kinds of liver injuries of different aetiologies, caused by endogenous factors such as dysmetabolic conditions – diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension or obesity – or exogenous triggers such as drugs, alcohol or chemicals. Over the long term, such induced liver damage can progress to chronic liver disease. Unfortunately, limited treatment options are available. This case series shows clinical examples of patients diagnosed with liver damage due to comorbid conditions and multiple risk factors and successfully treated with silymarin to mitigate the altered liver functionality.
