Plasma amino acid profiles in patients with fulminant hepatic failure treated by repeated polyacrylonitrile membrane hemodialysis

Glyphosate Poisoning with Acute Fulminant Hepatic Failure

Background: Glyphosate containing herbicides are widely used the world over. They are marketed as nontoxic to humans, but numerous studies have showed that these glyphosate-based herbicides (GlySH) can cause multiorgan damage.1 Recent reports of animal studies on rats have raised a doubt of liver damage after long term exposure to GlySH. Case Presentation: a young male had chronic exposure to G...

Plasma prostaglandins in fulminant hepatic failure.

Hepatic coma with renal failure, treated by repeated exchange transfusion.

Hepatic coma following acute hepatic necrosis carries a high mortality in spite of conventional therapy (Katz et al., 1962; McDonald and De la Harpe, 1963; Cook and Sherlock, 1965), but the concomitant development of renal failure makes the prognosis even worse (Hecker and Sherlock, 1956). Owing to the extraordinary capacity of the liver to regenerate, other forms of treatment have recently bee...

Fulminant hepatic failure due to metastatic choroidal melanoma

Circulating immune complexes in patients with fulminant hepatic failure.

Circulating immune complexes were found in 15 of 16 patients with fulminant hepatic failure due to viral hepatitis and all of six patients who had had halothane anaesthesia; however, they were found in only five of 32 patients with paracetamol-induced hepatic necrosis. The levels of circulating immune complexes were not related to the severity of the clinical course, development of renal failur...
