Acute Liver Failure in a Deployed Soldier
Abstract
Introduction: Supplements can be a dangerous source of casualties in the deployed setting. This case describes an incidence of acute hepatic injury induced by Hydroxycut. Supplements, like Hydroxycut, are non -regulated and often proprietary blends lea ding those taking them unaware of potential risk. Following this case, the Afghanistan Captured Material Exploitation {ACME) lab at Bagram conducted chemical analysis of several supplements used by soldiers to investigate the potential threat.
