Answer:

hepatotoxicity

Explanation:

Even in the low doses used in rheumatoid arthritis , methotrexate can cause hepatotoxicity. It is recommended by many clinicians  serial liver biopsies for patients on long-term, low-dose methotrexate.

Hepatotoxicity means chemical-driven liver damage. Drug-induced liver injury is a cause of acute and chronic liver disease. The liver plays a central role in transforming and clearing chemicals and is susceptible to the toxicity from these agents.
