Core Tip
Core Tip: Despite its rare occurrence, acute liver failure generates academic interest from multiple disciplines because of its multiorgan involvement and high morbidity and mortality. Severe neurological complications may arise, requiring invasive monitoring with the potential risk of fatal intracranial bleeding. Newer strategies could decrease the risks while keeping the benefits.
