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.

The liver in heart failure [PDF]
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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
