Studies from the University of Washington University of the United States show that 42%of acute liver failure in the United States is caused by acetaminol. Among them, excessive misunderstanding is the main reason. Different from my country, drug damage represented by acetylphenol is the main cause of liver failure in the United States. In addition to the acetaminol, other heat -relieving analgesic drugs such as soreness, aspirin, etc.; Anti -tuberculosis drugs such as lamima, Lifepiping, other such as fluoropane, methylbaba, crickets, arsenic agents, arsenic agents Sulfa medicine, etc. can cause liver failure.
