Abstract

1. Establishing the cause of fulminant hepatitis is an important determinant in outcomes after liver transplantation. 2. Liver transplantation is an integral part of the management of ALF. 3. In addition to generic posttransplant care, neurologic, septic, and hematologic issues need to be addressed. 4. Outcomes after liver transplantation are poorer than those for elective transplantation but superior to those found for comparably ill patients being transplanted for chronic liver disease. 5. Multiple factors have an influence on outcome, and risk stratification is beginning to emerge.
