Aminotransferase surveillance is the most useful tool for detecting DILI, Moreover, early detection and prompt drug discontinuation are critical, the researchers stated. “Surveillance of liver function in clinical trials and careful evaluation of reported abnormalities could make a major contribution to the early detection of antidepressants associated with a high risk of causing DILI. Finally, further research is required before rigorously founded recommendations can be established for clinical practice.”
