Recent advancements improve understanding and management of liver failure. Dynamic tests and extracorporeal support show promise, necessitating further trials for this critical condition.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Transplantation

Background:

  • Liver failure impacts multiple organ systems, including brain and kidneys.
  • It can be acute or acute-on-chronic, with distinct pathophysiologies.
  • Extracorporeal support is being explored for failing livers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent progress in identifying patients for extracorporeal liver support.
  • To discuss advancements in monitoring and understanding liver failure.
  • To highlight emerging therapeutic strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on liver failure management.
  • Evaluation of traditional and dynamic liver function tests.
  • Assessment of current data on extracorporeal support systems and antiapoptotic strategies.

Main Results:

  • Dynamic tests like indocyanine green clearance are increasingly significant.
  • Liver transplantation remains primary for severe cases without prior disease.
  • Extracorporeal support shows promise in small studies, requiring randomized trials.
  • Antiapoptotic strategies are promising due to programmed cell death's role.

Conclusions:

  • Significant progress in understanding liver failure pathophysiology and management.
  • Monitoring and support strategies have advanced.
  • Despite high mortality, new therapeutic avenues are emerging.
