Dr. John Bullock, Intern in Medicine, Jewish Hospital of St. Louis, and Assistant in Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine: A 62-year-old white woman was admitted to the surgical service on March 3, 1969, for an elective cholecystectomy. The patient was known to have had symptomatic gallstones since 1966.

Acute liver failure is a rare and severe consequence of abrupt hepatocyte injury, and can evolve over days or weeks to a lethal outcome. A variety of insults to liver cells result in a consistent pattern of rapid-onset elevation of aminotransferases, altered mentation, and disturbed coagulation. The absence of existing liver disease distinguishes acute

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.

Liver failure in the neonatal period is challenging to diagnose and manage, and still carries a high mortality. With ongoing developments in the field of metabolic disorders and antiviral therapy, and the ability to offer liver transplantation to small babies, an overall survival of 40% has been achieved.

Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift, 2004
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 is a rare but life-threatening medical emergency in pregnancy whose true incidence remains unknown. Many cases of acute liver failure are caused by pregnancy-related conditions such as acute fatty liver of pregnancy and HELLP syndrome.

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

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.

Medical Clinics of North America, 1986
Fulminant liver failure can be caused by many agents, and has a high mortality. Death is usually due to complications of poor liver function, rather than to parenchymal loss. Recovery from fulminant hepatic failure can be achieved by careful metabolic and nutritional support, reduction of cerebral edema, and prompt treatment of infection and ...

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1996
Neonatal liver failure (NLF) is a distinct and unusual clinical syndrome that requires a specialized approach to its management. This review establishes a definition of NLF and provides a literature-supported differential diagnosis. A specific approach to the diagnostic work-up of an infant with NLF based on this differential diagnosis is outlined. The
