Late onset hepatic failure: Clinical, serological and histological features
@article{Gimson1986LateOH, title={Late onset hepatic failure: Clinical, serological and histological features}, author={Alexander E. S. Gimson and John G O'grady and Roland J Ede and Bernard C. Portmann and Roger Williams}, journal={Hepatology}, year={1986}, volume={6} }
The clinical, laboratory and histological features of 47 patients with what is defined as late onset hepatic failure are reviewed. Twenty‐five of the patients werefemale and 22 male with a median age of 45 years. Hepatic dysfunction was severe as evidenced by the prolongation of prothrombin time (median = 32 sec, range = 17 to 120 sec). In only four cases was a viral etiology proven (2 hepatitis B, 2 hepatitis A) although the similarity of the clinical features to patients with fulminant viral…

The pattern of hepatic necrosis characterized by intralobular and interlobular bridging of portal triads or central veins, when found during the acute phase of viral hepatitis, indicates a severe form of the disease that may lead to fatal hepatic failure or the development of cirrhosis in a significant number of patients.

In 73 patients with fulminant viral hepatitis, non-A non-B hepatitis (NANB) was most common and the survival rate was higher in the HAV group (43.4%) compared with the HBV group (16.6%) and NANB group (9.3%) (p less than 0.005).
