Acute liver failure is a rapid loss of liver function over days or weeks in a person with no/pre-existing liver disease. Acute liver failure is less common than chronic liver failure but can cause serious complications.

Acute liver failure is assessed as a complex pathology that usually occurs after a harmful effect on the liver and loss of liver function. The disease develops rapidly in just a few days or weeks. The primary goals of treatment for acute liver failure are to control cerebral edema and to provide supportive therapy for multi-organ failure until liver regeneration occurs.

Liver failure occurs when the liver is damaged or its function no longer works. This is a life-threatening condition. So how do you know when you have liver failure? What are the signs of liver failure?

Acute liver failure is relatively rare in children. However, when this type of disease occurs in children, it is often severe and has a very high risk of death. Therefore, treatment of acute liver failure in children needs to be carried out early, quickly and according to the doctor's instructions.
