CHRONIC VITAMIN A INTOXICATION AS A CAUSE OF HEPATIC CIRRHOSIS


Cite item

Full Text

Abstract

The article presents clinical observation of hepatic cirrhosis caused by vitamin A intoxication as a result of its long-term uncontrolled use. The mechanisms of organ damage during intoxication with vitamin A are discussed.
