TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Liver Failure A1 - Elisofon, Scott A. A2 - Zaoutis, Lisa B. A2 - Chiang, Vincent W. Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Liver failure, or hepatic failure, is a clinical condition that results from significant hepatocyte dysfunction or death. It differs from hepatitis in that patients must have uncorrectable coagulopathy in addition to hepatocyte injury, with or without encephalopathy. Hepatic failure is an acute process and should be differentiated from the acute decompensation of chronic liver disease.
