Liver transplantation for fulminant and subacute viral hepatic failure in adults

J Van de Stadt et al. Transplant Proc. 1990 Aug.

Abstract

In our early experience, orthotopic liver transplantation was found to be successful in fulminant and subacute hepatic failure due to viral hepatitis in adults, with 66% 1-year survival rate. In the future, more accurate prognostic criteria would probably improve overall survival rate in acute hepatic failure, by allowing better and earlier selection of patients requiring liver transplantation.
