27. Acute liver failure
https://t.me/medicina_free
Recent data indicates that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) could be a marker for the severity of ALF (Etogo-Asse 2012). Data in ALF patients regarding lipid-associated parameters is limited, but HDL and cholesterol seem to be important for liver cell regeneration. In patients with ALF, HDL was suppressed, correlated with serum ALT levels, and was lower in patients without spontaneous remission (i.e., deceased or requiring transplantation) (Manka 2014). However, further studies are required to conirm which mechanisms play a role and what efects can be expected. More recently it was shown that liver biopsy by laparoscopy can assist in prognosis of ALF course and outcome, as immunohistochemical assessment of regeneration (i.e., KI67) and cell death (M30) become available (Dechêne
2014).

Prognosis
With persistently high, although variable, mortality rates from ten to ninety percent, accurate prediction of the clinica l course is cr ucial for accurate management and decision-making. Most importantly, identiication of the underlying aetiology improves prognosis and opens the door for speciic treatment. The degree of hepatic encephalopathy is traditionally considered an important indicator of prognosis (O’Grady 1989). Cerebral oedema and renal failure worsen the prognosis dramatically. In some studies, the IN was determined as the strongest single parameter in predicting the prognosis of ALF. Another interesting point is that the presence of hepatic encephalopathy means a poor prognosis for acetaminophen-induced ALF, which in contrast has little meaning for amanita mushroom poisoning. Liver transplantation is the last treatment option in patients with ALF, when conservative treatment options fail and a lethal outcome is imminent. Therefore, assessment of likelihood of the individual patient to undergo a fatal course is important for timely listing of the patient. Standardised prognosis scores based on reproducible criteria are important in times of donor organ shortage and to avoid liver transplantation in patients that
might fully recover without liver transplantation (Canbay 2011).
King’s College criteria (KCC) were established in the 1990s based on indings from a cohort of 588 patients with ALF (O’Grady 1989). The authors also introduced a classiication based on the onset of encephalopathy ater an initial rise in bilirubin levels into hyperacute (<7 days), acute (8–28 days) and subacute (5–12 weeks) liver failure (O’Grady 1993). KCC includes assessment of encephalopathy, coagulopathy (INR), acid homeostasis (pH), bilirubin and age. For patients with acetaminophen-induced ALF, a KCC formula was implied, deviating from that in patients with non-acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Clichy criteria were introduced for patients with fulmi nant HBV infection and include the degree of encephalopathy and factor V fraction as a measure for hepatic synthesis (Bernuau 1986). The model for end stage liver disease (MELD) was designed to predict the likelihood of survival ater transjugular portacaval shunt (TIPS) in cirrhotic patients. However, it has recently been established as an allocation tool for liver transplantation in patients with cirrhosis in the US and Europe. It was tested as a model for prediction of ALF and was found to be superior to KCC and Clichy criteria in independent studies (Schmidt 2007, Yantorno 2007). Novel approaches that include mechanistic characteristics of ALF like the CK-18 modiied MELD, which includes novel markers for hepatocellular death or lactate are promising, but need validation in prospective cohorts (Bechmann 2010, Hadem 2008, utherford 2012). In a recent, large, prospective study, a prognostic model was developed using dynamic changes of four independent variables (atrial ammonia, INR, serum bilirubin, hepatic encephalopathy) over three days, to predict mortality (Kumar 2012). Recently an association of thyroid hormone status and outcome of ALF has been demonstrated. Since thyroid hormones are involved in hepatocellular regeneration, thyroid status might be useful as early indicator for severity of ALF (Anastasiou 2015).

serology, coeruloplasmin, urine copper concentration, etc.), transjugular or laparoscopic liver biopsy might be indicated to identify the underlying disease (Canbay 2011).
Hepatic encephalopathy
In general in patients with hepatic encephalopathy, sedative agents should be avoided and if necessary restricted to short-acting benzodiazepines or propofol, as it might decrease intracranial pressure (Wijdicks 2002). Some studies favour utilisation of ICP monitoring, especially in patients with hepatic encephalopathy grade III/IV, and clinical signs of brain oedema. Mannitol therapy (0.5–1 g/kg) might be beneicial in some patients. Head elevation, induction of hypothermia and hyperventilation are recommended by some experts in patients with increased ICP. With worsening of brain oedema, patients present with systemic hypertension and bradycardia (Cushing relex), dilated and ixed pupils, and in the end respiratory arrest. The target ICP should remain below 20 mmHg, with cerebral perfusion pressure above 70 mmHg and jugular venous saturation of 55 to 80%. Phenytoin is the drug of choice for treatment of seizures and hypertonic sodium chloride might be beneicial on ICP (Larsen 2011). Symptomatic treatment of encephalopathy includes bowel decontamination with neomycin or rifaximin, induction of diarrhoea and reduction of colonic pH and thus reduction of ammonia absorption by lactulose as well as treatment with branched-chain aminoacids to improve peripheral ammonia metabolism, although large, randomised clinical trials have failed to show clinical improvement (Larson 2010, Nguyen 2011).
Given the high risk of deterioration and development of hepatic coma, immediate transfer of the patient presenting with ALF to the ICU is mandatory. Early referral or at least consultation of an experienced transplant centre is indicated in any ALF patient, since liver transplantation is the ultimate treatment for ALF in case conservative therapy fails. The cause of ALF should be determined as soon as possible. Besides speciic detailed history taking, laboratory and radiologic tests need to be done in order to establish the diagnosis of ALF and identify the underlying cause. Diagnostic studies include, but are not limited to, arterial blood gas analysis, glucose, electrolytes, bilirubin, ammoniac, lactate, protein, albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), urine electrolytes, urinalysis, and chest X-ray, cranial computed tomography (CT) in patients with advanced hepatic encephalopathy as well as assessment of intracranial pressure (ICP) in some cases. Beyond speciic diagnostic studies (HBV

Coagulopathy
In general, without clinical signs of bleeding coagulation factor treatment is not indicated. To exclude vitami n K deiciency, v itamin K challenge should be performed. Platelets and recombinant activated factor VII are indicated in case of bleeding or before invasive procedures. Interestingly, in ALF patients with impaired coagulation according to conventional testing (INR) may not be at risk for bleeding in laparoscopic procedures (Dechêne 2014).
Liver transplantation
Liver transplantation is the therapy of choice for ALF in those individuals with insuicient regeneration capacity and an otherwise fatal

prognosis. In patients without contraindications to liver transplantation, the one-year survival rate is as high as 80–90% with a ive-year survival of 55%. As mentioned above, with liver transplantation available as the most favourable therapy, the accurate assessment of the patient’s prognosis is crucial to initiate evaluation of the patient for liver transplantation and decision making in this clinical setting. The underlying disease, the clinical condition and the status of the grat inluence the patient’s prognosis ater the transplant. In times of general organ shortage, the grat pool might be extended by using living-donor transplants, split liver surgery or transplantation of livers in reduced conditions (Canbay 2011).
Extracorporal liver support systems
Extracorporal systems include support devices or bioreactors, which provide individual or a combination of functions that are insuiciently performed by the diseased liver. The scientiic and clinical aim of the introduction of these novel techniques is to stabilise the patient until a donor organ is available or ideally until the liver completely recovers. However, adequately powered, randomised studies to establish these techniques in the treatment of ALF are either lacking or have failed to show any beneit over conventional therapy. Thus, treatment with these devices most likely remains a part of a bridging-to-transplantation strategy within an academic setting. The same accounts for novel stem cell and adult hepatocyte transplant approaches (Canbay 2011).
Mushroom poisoning
Silibinin, with its cytoprotective afects against amanita toxin is used
despite a lack of the controlled trials (Broussard 2001, Ganzert 2008).
Acute HBV infection
Antiviral therapy with lamivudine or entecavir has proven eicient and safe in fulminant HBV infection (Tillmann 2006). Moreover, with initiation of entecavir within the irst days of admission, HBsAg concentrations and cell death were signiicantly reduced (Jochum 2009).
Pregnancy related
Immediate delivery and abortion are the available causal treatments. With early delivery, the rates of foetal death remain high; however the mortality rate of the mother decreases signiicantly (Westbrook 2010).
Autoimmune hepatitis
Steroid treatment should be initiated and if started in time might help to avoid the need for liver transplantation. With improvement of liver function, prednisone might be tapered and azathioprine treatment added to the regimens. Recent studies identiied the topical steroid budesonide as a potential substitute for systemic prednisone therapy (Schramm 2010).
Specific treatment options
Acetaminophen poisoning
Activated oral charcoal (1 g/kg) might be indicated if administered up to four hours ater acetaminophen ingestion. N-acetyl cysteine infusion to restore glutathione should be administered until as late as 24 to 36 hours ater ingestion, and continued for 20 hours or longer. Monitoring of blood acetaminophen levels might help in decision-making regarding the duration or initiation of treatment. N-acetyl cysteine should be started as soon as possible, even in patients with a low probability of acetaminophen overdose or even in patients with non-paracetamol drug-induced ALF (Lee
2009). Steroid and ursodeoxycholic acid combination seems to be efective in drug-induced severe liver injury (Wree 2011).
