| fulminant hepatic failure |
Overwhelming, acute loss of liver function. FHF usually occurs in a patient who has no known history of underlying liver disease. Fulminant hepatic failure can be secondary to a Tylenol (acetaminophen) overdose, acute hepatitis or prescription drugs. FHF requires a thorough search for underlying liver disease and consultation with a hepatologist. Often times, transfer to a liver transplant center is appropriate.
