Summary
Herb-induced liver injury is an important issue in musculoskeletal diseases where herbal
medicine is most frequently used. The low prevalence of drug-induced liver injury (DILI)
gives rise to the need for large-scale patient studies. We assessed the prevalence of liver
injury of 6,894 musculoskeletal disease inpatients taking herbal medicine.
