Introduction• The most severe clinical consequence of liver
disease is hepatic failure. This may be the result of sudden and massive hepatic destruction or it is the end point of progressive damage to the liver as part of chronic liver disease.
• Whatever the cause, 80% to 90% of hepatic functional capacity must be eroded before hepatic failure ensues.
![Page 3: Hepatic Failure-1,2](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/568153c6550346895dc1c0b2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

• In most cases of severe hepatic dysfunction, liver transplantation is the only hope for survival.

* The causes of hepatic failure fall into three categories:
1. Massive hepatic necrosis: due to;
a. Drug-induced, as from acetaminophen, halothane, antituberculosis drugs (rifampin, isoniazid), antidepressant monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
b. Hepatitis: Hepatitis A infection accounts for 4% of cases, hepatitis B infection accounts for 8%. Hepatitis C infection does not cause massive hepatic necrosis.
![Page 5: Hepatic Failure-1,2](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/568153c6550346895dc1c0b2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

2. Chronic liver disease: This is the most common route to hepatic failure and is the endpoint of progressive chronic hepatitis ending in cirrhosis.
3. Hepatic dysfunction without overt necrosis: Hepatocytes may be viable but unable to perform normal metabolic function, as with Reye syndrome and acute fatty liver of pregnancy.
![Page 6: Hepatic Failure-1,2](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/568153c6550346895dc1c0b2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Reye's syndrome • Is a potentially fatal disease that has numerous serious
effects to many organs, especially the brain and liver. • The classic features are a rash, vomiting, and liver damage. • The exact cause is unknown and, while it has been
associated with aspirin consumption by children with viral illness, it also occurs in the absence of aspirin use.
• The disease causes fatty liver with minimal inflammation and severe encephalopathy (with swelling of the brain).
• Jaundice is not usually present.• Early diagnosis is vital; although most children recover
with supportive therapy, it may lead to severe brain injury and death.

LIVER NECROSIS
![Page 9: Hepatic Failure-1,2](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/568153c6550346895dc1c0b2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

A. NECROSIS WITH INTACT LIVER FRAMEWORK
1. Apoptosis (Necrobiosis):* Def. death of single scattered hepatocytes.* Causes: 1. Acute viral hepatitis 2. Yellow fever.* N/E: No gross abnormalities.* M/P: the cytoplasm is deeply acidophilic and the nucleus becomes pyknotic. When the nucleus disappears, councilman body is produced.* Clinical features: No jaundice.* Fate: regeneration is complete.

2. Piece meal necrosis:* Def. apoptosis of peripheral hepatocytes resulting in moth eaten appearance of the limiting plates.* Causes: 1. Chronic hepatitis. 2. Submassive hepatic necrosis.* N/E: No gross abnormalities.* M/P: irregular moth eaten limiting plate.* Clinical features: No jaundice.* Fate: regeneration is complete.

III. Fibrosis & Cirrhosis: Periportal fibrosis or bridging fibrosis leads finally to mixed (micro and macronodular) or macronodular cirrhosis. Macronodular cirrhosis is precancerous.
![Page 40: Hepatic Failure-1,2](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/568153c6550346895dc1c0b2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

* Grading of chronic hepatitis by assessment the degree of activity:
• This is done by examining 4 parameters; portal inflammation, piece meal necrosis, focal (spotty) necrosis and confluent necrosis. The degree of activity is graded as mild, moderate and marked according to the score of these parameters.
![Page 41: Hepatic Failure-1,2](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020117/568153c6550346895dc1c0b2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
