Abstract: Liver injury is a serious health issue characterized by significant impairment of liver function, which can be induced by drugs, alcohol, viruses, or metabolic disorders. Oxidative stress, resulting from the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a crucial role in hepatocyte damage, inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis. Investigating the effects of oxidative stress on liver injury is essential for developing novel therapeutic strategies, aiding in early diagnosis, improving disease management, and providing preventive measures. This paper reviews the role of oxidative stress in liver injury and explores its potential applications in the treatment of liver diseases.
