T2  - Liver Transplantation: Operative Techniques and Medical Management
AB  - Acute  liver  failure  (ALF)  is  a  devastating  illness  in  a  previously  healthy  child.  The  mortality  rate  may  reach  80%  to  90%  in  the  absence  of  liver  transplant.  In  some  pediatric  series,  survival  rates  of  50%  to  75%  have  been  reported.  Pediatric  ALF  is  defined  as  a  hepatic-based  coagulopathy  that  is  not  corrected  by  parenteral  administration  of  vitamin  K;  lack  of  evidence  of  chronic  liver  disease;  and  prothrombin  time  (PT)  ≥20  seconds;  or  international  normalized  ratio  (INR)  ≥2,  based  on  the  consensus  of  the  Pediatric  Acute  Liver  Failure  (PALF)  Study  Group.
