Here is the liver biopsy done at the time of liver injury and on follow up at approx. 6 wks. The top panel shows severe fatty liver and liver cell loss, damage/necrosis and the bottom panel, transformation to cirrhosis. Why did this happen?

➡️Niacin is also found in many herbal mixtures and energy drinks, sometimes in super doses
➡️Well known cause of clinically apparent liver injury when given in high doses
