While I think this thread is getting off topic... I'll make just one small comment.

There are drugs NOT metabolized by the liver at all:

Gabapentin
Lyrica
Lisinopril (blood pressure)

Some are mostly excreted by the kidneys whole...
example: Digoxin (50-70%)

Not all drugs are hepatotoxic, but many can be. One we see here often is Cymbalta. Another common hepatotoxic drug is acetaminophen (Tylenol), which is OTC.

All drugs are eliminated by the kidneys however, in some form.
Either a metabolite or the whole drug.
