Il était une fois l’hépatotoxicité…

Résumé

The liver ensures a large part of xenobiotics metabolism thanks to its sizeable enzymatic equipment, its anatomical localization and its abundant vascularization. However, these various characteristics also make it a privileged target for toxic compounds, particularly in the case of a toxic metabolism. Xenobiotics-induced hepatotoxicity is a major cause of liver damage and a real challenge for clinicians, pharmaceutical industry, and health agencies. Intrinsic, i.e. predictable and reproducible hepatotoxicities occurring at threshold doses are distinguished from idiosyncratic hepatotoxicities, occurring in an unpredictable manner in people with individual susceptibilities. Among them, idiosyncratic immune-mediated hepatotoxicity pathophysiology is still unclear. However, the development of tools to improve the prediction and understanding of these disorders may open avenues to the identification of risk factors and new mechanisms of toxicity.
