Pediatric acute liver failure is a rare process that results from many different diseases including toxin ingestion and drug overdose, infections, metabolic and genetic disorders, immune-mediated diseases, and ischemia. Up to 50% of children with acute liver failure will never have an underlying cause found.

Pediatric Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure
Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2023Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is characterized by an acute hepatic insult happening in a patient with underlying cirrhosis with compromised hepatic reserve leading to development of systemic inflammation, sepsis, and organ failure resulting in poor outcome in majority.

Pediatric Acute Liver Failure: A Clinicopathological Perspective
Pediatric and Developmental Pathology, 2022Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is a life-threatening disorder characterized by acute hepatocellular injury occurring in children without recognized underlying liver disease. The clinicopathologic evaluation of PALF requires a different approach from that in adults.

Pediatric Liver Transplantation for Acute Liver Failure
Transplantation Proceedings, 2007The only proven therapy for patients unlikely to recover from acute liver failure (ALF) is liver transplantation. Correct diagnosis of these individuals and rapid referral to a transplant center are crucial. We evaluated 12 pediatric patients with ALF who underwent liver transplantation (LT) at our institution during a 3-year period.

Pediatric Acute Liver Failure and Immune Dysregulation
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2014Apreviously healthy 2-year-old girl was taken to a communityhospitalwith anacuteonsetof jaundice overa several-day period. Her initial exam was remarkable for mild hepatomegaly. There was no splenomegaly or history of fever. Screening laboratory tests revealed elevated aminotransferase levels, conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, and thrombocytopenia.

Extracorporeal renal and liver support in pediatric acute liver failure
Pediatric Nephrology, 2020The liver is the only organ which can regenerate and, thus, potentially negate the need for transplantation in acute liver failure (ALF). Cerebral edema and sepsis are leading causes of mortality in ALF. Both water-soluble and protein-bound toxins have been implicated in pathogenesis of various ALF complications.

Infectious Complications in Pediatric Acute Liver Failure
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2011ABSTRACTObjectives:Acute liver failure (ALF) is rare in children but carries high mortality. Infectious complications (IC) in adults are an important cause of mortality; however, there are few data in the pediatric population. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of IC and their effects on the outcome in children with ALF.Materials and ...

Prognostic modeling in pediatric acute liver failure
Liver Transplantation, 2016Liver transplantation (LT) is the only proven treatment for pediatric acute liver failure (PALF). However, over a period of time, spontaneous native liver survival is increasingly reported, making us wonder if we are overtransplanting children with acute liver failure (ALF).

Live donor liver transplantation for pediatric acute liver failure: challenges and outcomes
Hepatology International, 2023This study aimed at studying the challenges and outcomes of live-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for pediatric acute liver failure (PALF).A total of 315 patients with PALF were treated over a period of 11 years. 42 underwent LT (41 LDLT and one DDLT), constituting 38% (41/110) of all pediatric transplants during this duration.

Intensive Care Management of Pediatric Acute Liver Failure
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2017ABSTRACTPediatric acute liver failure is rare but life‐threatening illness that occurs in children without preexisting liver disease.
