Mechanisms of Cell Death in Acute Liver Failure
Acute liver failure (ALF) can be the consequence of various etiologies, that might vary between different geographic regions. Most frequent are intoxications with acetaminophen, viral hepatitis, or liver damage of unknown origin. ALF occurs when the extent of hepatocyte death exceeds the regenerative capacity of the liver. The mode of liver cell death that is predominantly induced in ALF, i.e.,...
متن کاملMechanisms of fibrosis in acute liver failure
BACKGROUND & AIMS Acute liver failure (ALF) is a condition with high mortality and morbidity. Fibrosis in chronic liver disease was extensively researched, whereas fibrosis and underlying mechanism in acute liver failure remains unclear. METHODS Hepatitis B virus related ALF patients were recruited to investigate if there was ongoing fibrosis by liver histology and liver stiffness measurement...
متن کاملCell Therapy for Acute Liver Failure - Ideal source of cell
Liver is the central metabolic organ that regulates body’s energy supply, secretes several essential compounds and clears substances by several methods, including recycling, inactivation andexcretion. Global loss of the liver function results in profound metabolic instability and disruption of essential functions such as acid-base balance and thermoregulation leading to acute liver failure (ALF...
متن کاملEvidence for liver cell proliferation during fatal acute liver failure.
Liver cell regeneration was assessed by determining the mitotic index and the frequency of liver cells with interploid DNA values in livers from patients dying from fulminant hepatitis. For comparison, the same parameters were determined in patients with uncomplicated hepatitis. We found comparable levels of regeneration in the two groups, indicating that the rate of liver cell destruction is a...
متن کاملREVIEW Intracellular Signaling Mechanisms of Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Cell Death
Acetaminophen hepatotoxicity is the leading cause of druginduced liver failure. Despite substantial efforts in the past, the mechanisms of acetaminophen-induced liver cell injury are still incompletely understood. Recent advances suggest that reactive metabolite formation, glutathione depletion, and alkylation of proteins, especially mitochondrial proteins, are critical initiating events for th...
