Acute and subacute hepatic failure - what does this mean
Acute and subacute hepatic failure occurs when the liver is unable to perform its normal functions due to damage from a variety of causes, including viral hepatitis, drug toxicity, and autoimmune diseases. damage to the liver can lead to a rapid decrease in its ability to filter toxins from the bloodstream, leading to a build-up of toxins in the body and eventually organ failure.
What happens during the disease - acute and subacute hepatic failure
Acute and subacute hepatic failure is a condition where the liver fails to adequately perform its normal functions. it is caused by a variety of factors, including viral infections, drugs and toxins, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic disorders. the most common cause is the accumulation of toxins in the liver, leading to inflammation and destruction of the liver cells. this causes a decrease in the production of bile acids and proteins, which can lead to further damage to the liver cells and eventually lead to acute and subacute hepatic failure.
