Article Synopsis
- Acute liver failure (ALF) is a critical condition that may require liver transplantation, with its main causes in India being viral, particularly hepatitis A which accounts for 44.2% of cases.
- A study analyzed 183 ALF patients from four major hospitals in India between 2021 and 2023, highlighting the effectiveness of interventions such as plasma exchange (PLEx) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), showing a low rate of liver transplants at only 3.8%.
- Key predictors of mortality included advanced hepatic encephalopathy and meeting specific medical criteria at admission, suggesting the importance of early intervention and potential for improved outcomes with vaccination against hepatitis A.
