The patient, a 37 year old woman, had arrived at the hospital
complaining of abdominal pain, nausea and jaundice. Testing for infection was negative, but a liver biopsy showed liver damage. She had been taking "The Right Approach Complex", a weight loss supplement containing green tea extract. When she stopped taking the supplement, her liver tests returned to normal.
One year later the same patient was admitted to the hospital again with the same symptoms.
