In the King’s College Hospital (KCH) series of over 3300 patients with ALF, the overall survival rate in 2008, including those transplanted, was 62.2% compared with 16.7% in 1973 [18] (Fig. 1). Medical care has also improved and questions are now being raised as to the additional ...
Because the liver is made up of several different types of cells, several types of tumors can form there. Some of these are benign (noncancerous), and some are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body (metastasize). These tumors have different causes and are treated differently...
In addition to determining the specific cause of the chronic liver disease, which may be amenable to targeted therapy, it is important to treat the sequelae of chronic liver failure effectively to improve quality of life, to prolong survival, and to provide a bridge to liver transplantation. ...
Whereas survivability of most cancers is expressed in terms of a five-year survival rate, the rapid course of this disease following appearance of symptoms has resulted in use of a three-year survival rate. This rate is fairly high if the cancer is localized and can be completely removed by...

In this study, it was concluded that COVID-19 and HBV infection influence the survival rate of the patients [106]. Using antiviral therapies might provide a higher risk of progression to liver failure but might reduce the risk of respiratory insufficiency [106]. Treatment for COVID-19 implies...
