Acute liver failure is a rare and life-threatening clinical syndrome following severe hepatic injury. Depending on the rapidity of its development, two distinct complications contribute to a high mortality: in hyperacute liver failure, rapid development of massive hepatic necrosis and apoptosis gives rise to severe hyperammonemia, hepatic ...

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare condition in the pediatric population. Patients who present with severe failure of liver synthetic function have a high mortality with medical therapy alone. The main causes of death are cerebral edema, hemorrhage, renal failure and sepsis.

Liver transplantation for acute liver failure
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 1999Under conservative management, the mortality rate of acute liver failure is very high. Liver transplantation is an established life-saving therapy, offering survival rates between 60 and 90%. The decision for liver transplantation should be based on prognostic criteria, including patient's age, aetiology of liver disease, degree and onset of ...

Liver Transplantation for Acute Liver Failure
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2018With the advent of liver transplant for acute liver failure (ALF), survival rate has improved drastically. Liver transplant for ALF accounts for 8% of all transplant cases. The 1-year survival rates are 79% in Europe and 84% in the United States. Some patients with ALF may recover spontaneously, and approximately half will undergo liver transplant.

Renal failure in acute liver failure
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 1999Renal failure develops in approximately 55% of all patients referred to specialized centres with acute liver failure. The renal failure may be secondary to the liver failure itself (and is termed the hepatorenal syndrome) or the renal failure may be a secondary insult that directly affects both liver and kidney alike (for example paracetamol overdose).

Acute liver failure and liver transplantation
Indian Journal of GastroenterologySudden and rapid deterioration of hepatic function leading to jaundice, coagulopathy and encephalopathy defines acute liver failure (ALF). Timing of jaundice to encephalopathy classifies ALF into hyperacute, acute and sub-acute liver failure and prognosticates outcome.
