Systemic corticosteroids are known to have several adverse side effects. Weight gain is a common side effect, as corticosteroids can cause fluid retention and increased appetite. PU/PD (polyuria/polydipsia) refers to increased urination and thirst, which can occur due to corticosteroids affecting the kidneys. Liver disease is another possible side effect, as corticosteroids can cause liver damage or worsen existing liver conditions. Polyphagia, or increased hunger, can also occur due to corticosteroid use. Therefore, the given answer correctly identifies weight gain, PU/PD, liver disease, and polyphagia as adverse side effects of systemic corticosteroids.
