Abstract

Paracetamol overdose leading to hepatotoxicity remains the most common cause of fulminant hepatic failure in England and Wales. Studies at the Institute of Liver Studies have demonstrated that the continuing mortality is, at least in part, due to an increase in the severity of fulminant hepatic failure secondary to chronic alcohol consumption or the long term use of anticonvulsant drugs.
