Summary:SUMMARY Green tea is obtained from freshly harvested Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze (Theaceae) leaves by drying them under hot air or steam without oxidation and fermentation. Despite its potential health benefits, severe side hepatocellular effects have been reported especially after the long-term consumption of green tea in high doses. Most of patients consumed green tea infusion and extracts have been presented to the emergency department with complaints of jaundice, abdominal pain and fatigue; as a result of examinations, it has been observed that hepatocellular type liver damage usually occurs because of the high amount of green tea used for a long time. According to the results, the consumption of green tea should be avoided fasting, for a long time (more than 2 months) and at high doses (over 3-4 cups/day).
