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

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 ...

The etiology of fulminant hepatitis varies in different countries and at different times. The main causes of fulminant hepatitis are viruses, paracetamol, drugs (other than paracetamol), poisons and 15-30% remained of undetermined origin. The prevalence of these etiologies varies according to the geographic region and has changed over the past 10 years.

Liver transplantation for acute liver failure
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 1999Under conservative management, the mortality rate of acute liver failure is very high. Liver transplantation is an established life-saving therapy, offering survival rates between 60 and 90%. The decision for liver transplantation should be based on prognostic criteria, including patient's age, aetiology of liver disease, degree and onset of ...

Liver Transplantation for Acute Liver Failure
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2018With the advent of liver transplant for acute liver failure (ALF), survival rate has improved drastically. Liver transplant for ALF accounts for 8% of all transplant cases. The 1-year survival rates are 79% in Europe and 84% in the United States. Some patients with ALF may recover spontaneously, and approximately half will undergo liver transplant.

Chronic Liver Failure and Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure
2020Chronic liver failure (CLF) is the result of persistent liver damage. Given the multifaceted abilities of the organ, CLF is a multisystem progressive disease that evolves from an asymptomatic (compensated) to a clinically manifested phase (decompensated) driven by hemodynamic disturbances and systemic inflammation.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening disorder characterised by rapid deterioration of liver function, coagulopathy, and hepatic encephalopathy in the absence of pre-existing liver disease. The cause of ALF varies across the world. Common causes of ALF in adults include drug toxicity, hepatotropic and non-hepatotropic viruses, herbal and ...

Liver transplantation for acute liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver failure
American Journal of TransplantationAcute liver failure (ALF) and acute-on-chronic liver (ACLF) are distinct phenotypes of liver failure and, thus, need to be compared and contrasted for appropriate management. There has been a significant improvement in the outcomes of these patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT).
