INTRODUCTION Latin America lacks a centralized database registry capable of reliably accounting for the incidence and particular characteristics of drug-induced liver damage within the region. Collaborative efforts, consensus-based diagnostic criteria and a standardized nomenclature are the essential components to perform this task. The present work focuses on the steps taken by Latin American countries to tackle their present isolation and set up a collaborative network together with Spain in order to further understand and investigate the complex underlying mechanism of drug-induced liver injury (DILI).
