Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2013
Untreated acute liver failure (ALF) has a poor outcome and so rapid diagnosis and management is vital if the patient is to survive. ALF has such profound and widespread physiological consequences that whenever possible, patients with ALF should be managed in an intensive care unit. Management is to support the physiology and treat the underlying cause.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening disorder characterised by rapid deterioration of liver function, coagulopathy, and hepatic encephalopathy in the absence of pre-existing liver disease. The cause of ALF varies across the world. Common causes of ALF in adults include drug toxicity, hepatotropic and non-hepatotropic viruses, herbal and ...

Worldwide, viral hepatitis is the leading cause of acute liver failure, whereas acetaminophen hepatotoxicity is the most commonly identified cause in Western countries. Restricting the quantity of acetaminophen tablets dispensed has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality in countries with a high incidence of acetaminophen overdose.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2003
Acute liver failure in children is associated with a high mortality. Most cases in our setup are due to water borne hepatotropic viruses HAV and HEV. The clinician must be aware of the earliest and the subtle signs of acute liver failure to identify cases early enough and institute supportive therapy.

Liver transplantation for acute liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver failure
American Journal of TransplantationAcute liver failure (ALF) and acute-on-chronic liver (ACLF) are distinct phenotypes of liver failure and, thus, need to be compared and contrasted for appropriate management. There has been a significant improvement in the outcomes of these patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT).

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2011
Acute liver failure (ALF) results in a multitude of serious complications that often lead to multi-organ failure. This brief review focuses on the pathophysiological processes in ALF and how to manage these.The clinical presentation in ALF ranges from slightly altered conscious level with profound coagulopathy to coma with a catastrophic failure of ...

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2017
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening condition of heterogeneous etiology. Outcomes are better with early recognition and prompt initiation of etiology-specific therapy, intensive care protocols, and liver transplantation (LT). Prognostic scoring systems include the King's College Criteria and Model for End-stage Liver Disease score. Cerebral
