Valproic acid : mechanisms of hepatotoxicity and reaction phenotyping

Valproic acid (VPA) therapy is associated with a rare but severe hepatotoxicity. The relationships between the various pathophysiological findings of VPA-induced hepatotoxicity and the role of VPA biotransformation in the induction of hepatotoxicity have not been systematically investigated. The p...
