  • Title: Intensive Care Management of Pediatric Acute Liver Failure.
    Author: Lutfi R, Abulebda K, Nitu ME, Molleston JP, Bozic MA, Subbarao G.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 2017 May; 64(5):660-670. PubMed ID: 27741059.
    Abstract:
    Pediatric acute liver failure is rare but life-threatening illness that occurs in children without preexisting liver disease. The rarity of the disease, along with its severity and heterogeneity, presents unique clinical challenges to the physicians providing care for pediatric patients with acute liver failure. In this review, practical clinical approaches to the care of critically ill children with acute liver failure are discussed with an organ system-specific approach. The underlying pathophysiological processes, major areas of uncertainty, and approaches to the critical care management of pediatric acute liver failure are also reviewed.
