Management of acute liver failure

چکیده

An ideal therapy for acute liver failure (ALF) would be the successful promotion of liver regeneration, with spontaneous recovery from the disease. However, in spite of advances in our understanding of the process of regeneration1 and potential candidate compounds for clinical testing,2 we currently lack the ability to influence this process in the patient with ALF. Thus, therapeutic efforts are directed at three levels:

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...

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation for Etanercept-Induced Acute Hepatic Failure; a case report

The occurrence of hepatotoxicity following etanercept (tumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonist) prescription, has been studied well. However, an acute hepatic failure leading to liver transplant as an adverse effect of this drug has not been reported in the literature. In this article, we are going to present a case of acute liver failure followed by liver transplantation, in a 32 years old man ...

Recent Technological Advances in Hepatogenic Differentiation of Stem Cells Relevant to Treatment of Liver Diseases

Liver failure, in an acute or chronic form, is a growing health problem ranking as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Inborn errors of metabolism characterized by defects in hepatic enzymes or other proteins with metabolic functions, such as receptors or transporters accompanied with environmental factors involve etiology and presentation of liver failure. Currently, the only establi...

H2O2-Preconditioned Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Liver Regeneration in Acute Liver Failure-Induced Mice

Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are suitable candidates for the treatment of liver diseases. However, their low survival rate limits their efficacy following transplantation. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potentials of H2O2-preconditioned umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UCMSCs) on acute liver failure (ALF) in mice. Methods: UCMSCs were pre-conditioned with different con...

Autophagy-Modulated Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Accelerate Liver Restoration in Mouse Models of Acute Liver Failure

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recently received increasing attention for cell-based therapy, especially in regenerative medicine. However, the low survival rate of these cells restricts their therapeutic applications. It is hypothesized that autophagy might play an important role in cellular homeostasis and survival. This study aims to investigate the regenerative potentia...
