Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010025410A2] This present invention provides methods and kits for identifying patients at risk of suffering from a drug induced liver injury, particularly for an antioxidant drug, or for identifying patients who are suffering from early stages of a liver disorder by assessing the levels of apolipoprotein in a sample of the patient and comparing that to a reference value. The reference value is predetermined by identifying a population sample and determining an upper limit of normal value. This value is then used as a reference point for comparison of apolipoprotein levels from patient samples. In one embodiment, apolipoprotein levels are combined with ATL and/or total bilirubin levels for predicting liver damage, hepatotoxicity or hepatic events after drug administration.
