Talk:Acute liver failure

stub?

shouldn't this be a stub? --Steven Fruitsmaak 16:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be deleted. Fulminant liver failure = acute liver failure is not at all the same as chronic liver failure. The article is completely mixed up in management and needs an entire rewrite. It's on my list of things to do. -- Samir धर्म 06:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I know

Fully agree with Samir's assessment. Will be fleshing this out when cirrhosis looks better.

PMID 16980011 - MELD has an excessive false-positive rate when using it to screen candidates for OLT.

Desperately need some images especially to illustrate pathological changes. Only free image I could find was this Marburgh infection which do not show all findings.--Countincr ^{( T@lk )} 03:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Healing

Unless I'm Wolverine, I hope people know either they are misdiagnosed or have a body of a god. Funny thing is the liver actually regenerates and postings this wiki is just perpetuating many myths with does not help some who is dying. How about about the truth? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.251.234.185 (talk) 21:09, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
