Acute renal failure in patients with cirrhosis: Perspectives in the age of MELD In patients with cirrhosis, acute renal failure is mainly due to prerenal failure (caused by renal hypoperfusion) and tubular necrosis. The main causes of ... R Moreau,D Lebrec - 《Hepatology》 被引量: 816发表...
In acute liver failure, the liver function decreases abruptly for which the most common reasons are intoxications (e.g., acetaminophen), viral infections, and hepatic ischemia.16 Chronic liver failure occurs in the context of cirrhosis which happens due to chronic viral infections of the liver, ...
Chronic liver failure causes The most common causes of chronic liver failure include: Hepatitis A, B, and C: These viruses can infect the liver, making it inflamed and unable to work properly. Long-term alcohol consumption: Heavy drinking can lead to cirrhosis. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease...

The North American Consortium for the Study of End-Stage Liver Disease's definition of acute-on-chronic liver failure (NACSELD-ACLF) as two or more extrahepatic organ failures has been proposed as a simple bedside tool to assess the risk of mortality in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. We...
LiMAx has been previously evaluated in various clinical settings such as liver surgery, liver transplantation, cirrhosis, oncology, acute liver failure, sepsis, and drug management12–20,24,25. Hence, we applied the test to determine enzymatic liver function in a large cohort of 464 patients with...
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a distinct entity that differs from acute liver failure and decompensated cirrhosis in timing, presence of treatable acute precipitant, and course of disease, with a potential for self-recovery. The core concept is acute deterioration of existing liver funct...
liver failure. The evaluation requires a diligent search for a specific etiology of the liver failure, since certain causes may respond well to specific pharmacological therapies.Acetaminophenand non-acetaminophen drug-inducedhepatotoxicityaccount for more than 50% of cases of acute liver failure. ...
Liver cirrhosis, a late stage of liver disease, contributes to the development of hyperdynamic circulation, electrophysiologic abnormalities, and systolic and diastolic dysfunction in a syndrome termed cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.1 There is an association between liver fibrosis and incident heart failure (HF...
