Clinics in Liver Disease, 2002
Severe congestive heart failure is associated with two distinct forms of liver dysfunction: jaundice that is related to passive congestion and acute hepatocellular necrosis that is caused by impaired perfusion. Cardiac cirrhosis (fibrosis) may result from prolonged recurrent congestive heart failure.

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.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1982
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 ...

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.

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.

Seminars in Neonatology, 2003
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 (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.

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.

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 ...
