Opinions on whether corticosteroids can be used to treat severe DILI are conflicting, and most of the relevant clinical studies are case reports or retrospective studies, which still need to be supported by high-level evidence-based medical studies. This study aimed to evaluate the effect and tolerance of corticosteroids in patients with severe DILI.
