The R-ratio can help to classify the type of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) that a patient is experiencing.
Patient selection: drug-induced liver injury (DILI)
Parameters:
(1) serum ALT
(2) upper limit of normal for serum ALT
(3) serum alkaline phosphatase
(4) upper limit of normal for serum alkaline phosphatase
R-ratio =
= ((serum ALT) / (ULN ALT)) / ((serum alkaline phosphatase) / (ULN alkaline phosphatase))
Ratio
Type of DILI
<= 2
cholestatic
2.01 to 4.99
mixed
>= 5
hepatocellular
