ACG Clinical Guideline: The Diagnosis and Management of Idiosyncratic Drug-Induced Liver Injury

TL;DR: This ACG Clinical Guideline is presented an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management of DILI with special emphasis on DILi due to herbal and dietary supplements and DilI occurring in individuals with underlying liver disease.

EASL Clinical Practical Guidelines on the management of acute (fulminant) liver failure.

TL;DR: The term acute liver failure (ALF) is frequently applied as a generic expression to describe patients presenting with or developing an acute episode of liver dysfunction, however, it refers to a highly specific and rare syndrome, characterised by an acute abnormality of liver blood tests in an individual without underlying chronic liver disease.

Introduction to the revised American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases position paper on acute liver failure 2011

TL;DR: Fulminant Wilson's disease can be diagnosed most effectively not by waiting for copper levels (too slow to obtain) or by obtaining ceruloplasmin levels (low in half of all ALF patients, regardless of etiology), but by simply looking for the more readily available bilirubin level and alkaline phosphatase (ALP; very low).

Early indicators of prognosis in fulminant hepatic failure

TL;DR: The successful use of orthotopic liver transplants in fulminant hepatic failure has created a need for early prognostic indicators to select the patients most likely to benefit at a time when liver transplantation is still feasible.

The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)

TL;DR: The Model for End‐stage Liver Disease was initially created to predict survival in patients with complications of portal hypertension undergoing elective placement of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts and was validated subsequently as an accurate predictor of survival among different populations of patients with advanced liver disease.
