Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare but life-threatening disease process that can result in rapidly progressive encephalopathy, elevated intracranial pressure, and multiorgan failure. In the United States, the 2 most common causes of ALF in the intensive care unit (ICU) are acetaminophen overdose and hypoxic-ischemic hepatopathy.

Pediatric Annals, 2016
Pediatric acute liver failure (ALF) is a complex and rapidly progressive syndrome that results from a variety of age-dependent etiologies. It is defined by the acute onset of liver disease with no evidence of chronic liver disease. There must be biochemical or clinical evidence of severe liver dysfunction as defined by an international ...

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2005
Liver failure is a rare but life-threatening condition affecting a multitude of other organ systems, most notably the brain and kidneys, following severe hepatocellular injury. Liver failure may develop in the absence ('acute') or presence ('acute-on-chronic') of liver disease with substantial differences in pathophysiology and therapeutic options ...

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 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.

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

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2001
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.

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2010
Acute liver failure (ALF) is an uncommon condition involving the rapid deterioration of liver functions and coagulation in previously well patients. The loss of liver function produces a cascade of systemic effects that rapidly overwhelm patients unless acted on.

Hepatic failure emerging in a patient after injury is generally manifested as cholestatic jaundice. It differs in several important respects from hepatic failure, as it is understood to present in alcoholic or posthepatitic patients. Sepsis is the etiology of the hepatic failure in the overwhelming majority of patients who die following posttraumatic ...
