Abstract

Immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has been increasingly used in the oncology treatment field. Although ICIs could help suppress cancer and improve survival rates, it could also lead to certain adverse events, including immune-mediated liver injury caused by ICIs (ILICI). The manifestation of ILICI ranged greatly from asymptomatic disease to liver failure and even death. In this review article, we will discuss the pathogenesis, manifestation, and clinical approach of ILICI.
