Acute hepatic failure

Acute hepatic failure is a critical, life-threatening clinical syndrome defined by a rapid loss of hepatocyte function occurring in individuals without preexisting chronic liver disease or cirrhosis Clinically, it is characterized by the sudden onset of impaired hepatic synthetic function manifesting as coagulopathy—typically an international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.5 or greater—alongside altered mental status due to hepatic encephalopathy, evolving over an illness duration of less than 26 w...

Primarily affecting the hepatic and central nervous systems, it is pathophysiologically driven by massive hepatocellular necrosis or severe dysfunction resulting from causes such as drug-induced hepatotoxicity, viral hepatitis, ischemic injury, or autoimmune insults
