What is Acute Liver Failure?
Acute liver failure is the rapid deterioration of liver function, often in someone with no prior liver disease. Also known as fulminant hepatic failure or acute hepatic insufficiency, this condition leads to coagulopathy, jaundice with altered sensorium, and possible hepatic encephalopathy within days or weeks.
Acute liver injury causes liver cells to stop functioning, which can result in liver shutdown if not treated urgently.
Symptoms of Acute Liver Failure
- Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
- Confusion, drowsiness, or coma (hepatic encephalopathy)
- Bleeding or bruising easily (INR elevation)
- Severe fatigue or nausea
- Swelling in the abdomen
- Foul breath, tremors, or seizures
Causes of Sudden Liver Failure
