About the Case Presentation
Liver failure can result from various causes, including chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, or acute conditions such as drug toxicity, and is characterized by a significant decline in liver function. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, liver function tests, imaging, and sometimes biopsy, while management focuses on addressing the underlying cause, supportive care, and, in severe cases, liver transplantation.
