Abstract

Herb Induced Liver Injury (HILI) is a condition in which there is aggression to the liver tissue after exposure to substances present in many different medications, dietary supplements, herbs and xenobiotics. Diagnosing HILI is challenging given that many other causes must be previously excluded, but it should always be considered since it’s one of the most frequent causes of acute liver failure in the West. We report a case of a 60-yearold female who used Moringa oleifera and presented with fatigue and elevated liver enzymes, which resolved after she suspended its consumption.
