Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a clinical condition with high mortality. The most common cause of death in ALF is cerebral edema. We present a 12-year-old boy with hepatitis A-related acute liver failure in grade IV hepatic encephalopathy successfully managed in the ICU using continuous hypertonic saline as the preferred osmotherapy.Entities:
