Description

The R-ratio can help to classify the type of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) that a patient is experiencing.


Patient selection: drug-induced liver injury (DILI)

 

Parameters:

(1) serum ALT

(2) upper limit of normal for serum ALT

(3) serum alkaline phosphatase

(4) upper limit of normal for serum alkaline phosphatase

 

R-ratio =

= ((serum ALT) / (ULN ALT)) / ((serum alkaline phosphatase) / (ULN alkaline phosphatase))

 

Ratio

Type of DILI

<= 2

cholestatic

2.01 to 4.99

mixed

>= 5

hepatocellular
