  • Title: Acute liver failure.
    Author: Beck J, Bolina JK, Boyd LH.
    Journal: JAAPA; 2024 May 01; 37(5):22-27. PubMed ID: 38595172.
    Abstract:
    Acute liver failure, commonly caused by acetaminophen overdose, is associated with numerous systemic complications including cerebral edema, hypotension, acute kidney injury, and infection. Management is primarily supportive, with an emphasis on excellent neurocritical care. Although some antidotes and targeted treatments exist, the only definitive treatment remains orthotopic liver transplant.
