Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) Toxicity that damages the liver.
It is difficult to clarify the hepatotoxicity of herbal remedies, especially if they are comprised of a mixture of several plants or various components of the plant. Moreover, herbal remedies are often applied as automedication, and patients withhold the information that they have used them.
