A CASE OF FULMINANT HEPATIC FAILURE
Dr. Kavi Chakravarthi M. G, Dr Mohini Singh, Dr S. R. Ramakrishnan
Abstract :
Acute liver failure (ALF) occurs due to a sudden severe insult to a previously normal liver or atleast well compensated liver disease, which leads to the development of progressive hepatic encephalopathy (HE), coagulopathy and jaundice. It is a oad term that encompasses both fulminant hepatitis and sub fulminant hepatic failure (or late–onset hepatic failure). Fulminant hepatic failure is characterized by the development of severe liver injury with impaired synthetic capacity and encephalopathy (within 8 weeks) whereas, sub fulminant hepatic failure is reserved for patients with liver disease for up to 26 weeks before the development of hepatic encephalopathy. ALF is a rare disease but has the potential to rapidly progress to multi–organ failure leading to death.
