Acute liver failure (ALF) is an uncommon condition in which rapid deterioration of liver function results in coagulopathy and alteration in the mental status of a previously healthy individual. Acute liver failure often affects young people and carries a

An evidence base for practice is emerging for supportive care, and a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder, especially in relation to hepatic encephalopathy, will probably soon lead to further improvements in ...

Despite the numerous advances on pathophysiology, intensive care treatment, and transplantation techniques from the last decades, is still characterized by increased mortality. At present, the patients with acute liver failure should be managed in Intensive Care Unit wh...

Other rare causes of ALF include amebic abscesses, disseminated tuberculosis, recrudescence of hepatitis B virus after the withdrawal of cancer chemotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation. PATHOGENESIS AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Although the causative agent is frequently known, a full understandi]]>...
Acute liver failure is a rare and dynamic condition, with a broad aetiology and an incompletely understood pathophysiology. Management of this life-threatening disease requires critical care and organ support and frequently early liver transplantation. Proper identification, prevention and treatment of compl...
