Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Surgery - Blood sampling

healthy - donors/patients without liver disease, with and without ongoing drug therapy including buffy coat samples of healthy blood / thrombocyte donors.
After pseudonymisation a detailed history and clinical data are obtained and blood sampling will be performed . Buffy coats are obtained anonymously.

prior to therapy - History will be obtained and blood sampling will be performed in patients in whom a drug therapy with a drug with DILI potential is planned.

iDILI - Patients with clinical suspicion of idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury. After pseudonymisation a detailed history and clinical data are obtained and blood sampling will be performed.

non DILI - Patients with other forms of liver injury. After pseudonymisation a detailed history and clinical data are obtained and blood sampling will be performed.


Treatment: Surgery: Blood sampling
In each group a blood sample of approximately 50 mL will be obtained upon study inclusion.

Summary
Brief summary
Drug metabolism in the liver is subject to large fluctuations (differences between women and
men, people of different ethnic backgrounds, children and adults). These large differences
are responsible for very different drug effects and side-effects (and especially liver damage
caused by drugs) between individuals. Recent scientific findings suggest that blood derived
cells can be used to model individual effects of drugs on the liver reflect inter-individual
differences. Since liver damage caused by drugs is a diagnosis of exclusion, the
aforementioned cells can be used to identify patients that show higher sensitivity to
hepatotoxic side-effects and - in case several drugs are involved - identify the causal agent
or possible interactions.
