Occupational Liver Disease: An Underestimated Entity of Liver Injury

Occupational liver disease is certain rare group of liver diseases that are often underdiagnosed. We report a case of liver injury caused due to occupational exposure in a patient presenting with jaundice. In the absence of any competing causes and liver biopsy findings, injury secondary to nitrocompounds have been suspected. The patient improved gradually on changing his job position. This case emphasizes the need for knowledge regarding liver diseases occurring secondary to toxin exposure during work.

Abstract

Occupational liver disease is certain rare group of liver diseases that are often underdiagnosed. We report a case of liver injury caused due to occupational exposure in a patient presenting with jaundice. In the absence of any competing causes and liver biopsy findings, injury secondary to nitrocompounds have been suspected. The patient improved gradually on changing his job position. This case emphasizes the need for knowledge regarding liver diseases occurring secondary to toxin exposure during work.
