독성 간손상의 진단 및 보고체계 구축을 위한 다기관 공동연구
영문요약과 국문요약의 내용이 좀 다릅니다. 영문요약에는 국문요약에 없는 내용이 실려있는데 영문요약의 내용 중 일부를 소개하면 2005년 5월부터 10월까지 17개 대학병원에서 새로 진단된 독성 간손상 환자는 110명이었습니다. 독성 간손상의 원인은 한약(영문으로 'herb medicine'이라 되어있는데 서양에서라면 '약초', 일본에서라면 '한방약'이라 할 수 있겠지만 우리나라에서는 '한약'이나 '한약재'로 번역하는 경우가 많습니다) 33.6%, 상용약 28.2%, 건강식품 11.8%, 민간요법 5.5%, 기타 20.0%였습니다.
