AbstractAcute liver failure (ALF) is a condition that can rapidly progress to multiorgan failure. This article focuses on the diagnosis and management of ALF. We provide a detailed review of the common etiologies of ALF, including acetaminophen overdose, viral hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, Wilson's disease, and autoimmune hepatitis. The article

Global burden of disease: acute-on-chronic liver failure, a systematic review and meta-analysis
Gut, 2021Background and aims Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is characterised by acute decompensation of cirrhosis associated with organ failures. We systematically evaluated the geographical variations of ACLF across the world in terms of prevalence ...

Acute liver failure, also known as fulminant hepatic failure, is a rare life-threatening disease that has a high mortality rate and affects many organ systems. Causes of acute liver failure vary—it can be attributed to drugs, viruses, and other uncommon sources.

Worldwide, viral infection is responsible for the majority of cases of acute liver failure, and the presence of co-existing chronic viral hepatitis may increase its severity. The newly described hepatotrophic viruses, hepatitis G virus and transfusion-transmitted virus, are unlikely to be major aetiological agents.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure: A distinct clinical syndrome.
Journal of Hepatology, 2021There are different operating definitions for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in different geographic regions. Consortia in Western countries have developed definitions that apply to patients with cirrhosis, while consortia in Asia have developed ...

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.

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.

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 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.

Clinical features and evolution of bacterial infection-related acute-on-chronic liver failure.
Journal of Hepatology, 2020BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bacterial infections can trigger the development of organ failure/s and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Different geographic variations in their bacteriology and clinical practices could lead to different epidemiology ...
