Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicine have been linked to liver injury. This case describes the first documented case of Punarnava mandur and Kanchnar guggulu causing drug induced liver injury. Drug induced liver injury may be difficult to diagnosis, but use of multi-modalities tools including the ACG algorithms, causative assessment scales, histological fi ndings, and imaging, is recommended. Advanced imaging, such as magnetic resonance chol-angiopancreatography, may possibly have a greater role than previously reported in literature.

Certain ayurvedic medications are commonly used without full knowledge of their side effects. This article not only represents the first documented case report of drug induced liver injury secondary to Punarnava mandur and Kanchnar guggulu, but it also demonstrates the possible role for advanced imaging modalities.Dalal KK, Holdbrook T, Peikin SR.
