Fulminant liver failure

J A Payne. Med Clin North Am. 1986 Sep.

Abstract

Fulminant liver failure can be caused by many agents, and has a high mortality. Death is usually due to complications of poor liver function, rather than to parenchymal loss. Recovery from fulminant hepatic failure can be achieved by careful metabolic and nutritional support, reduction of cerebral edema, and prompt treatment of infection and coagulopathy.
