AB  - Acute  liver  failure  (ALF)  is  a  rare  but  devastating  result  of  hepatic  necrosis  in  previously  healthy  individuals.  Hepatic  function  rapidly  declines  within  days  to  weeks  and  is  often  complicated  by  coagulopathy,  hepatic  encephalopathy  (HE),  hypoglycemia,  acute  renal  failure,  sepsis,  and  gastrointestinal  bleeding.  These  complications  can  lead  to  death  with  mortality  rates  up  to  40%  in  the  United  States.1
