The Lancet, 2010

Abstract

Acute liver failure (ALF) is an uncommon condition involving the rapid deterioration of liver functions and coagulation in previously well patients.

The key to managing patients with ALF revolves around having the resources and expertise to manage patients with rapidly evolving multiple system failure.
