Thus, therapeutic efforts ar...

syndrome that triggers a cascade of events, leading to multiple organ failure and often death. A previously normal liver may fail within days or weeks; and despite recent advances in intensive care and organ support, mortality rates remain high. In those patients with high grades of encephalopathy, the chances of survival are less than 20% with medical management alone. Early deaths in ALF are ...
متن کاملManagement of acute liver failure.
The principles of management for acute liver failure are: 1. Accurate diagnosis of the type--fulminant, late onset, acute on chronic--and establishment of likely aetiology. 2. Early detection and treatment of complications, particularly metabolic acidosis (early), renal failure, cerebral oedema and infections (late). 3. Optimization of conditions for regeneration by maintenance of normal metabo...
