Article Synopsis
- Acute liver failure (ALF) often leads to emergency liver transplantation (LT), with a study analyzing 70 LT cases from a single center over 10 years to identify predictors of poor outcomes.
- The majority of ALF cases had identifiable causes, while key mortality risk factors included unknown etiology, pre-operative kidney issues, and severe brain dysfunction (Grade IV hepatic encephalopathy).
- Despite a high 90-day mortality rate of 35.7%, survivors showed an impressive 10-year survival rate of 95.6%, highlighting the potential for long-term success post-transplant.
