What is Acute Liver Failure? Acute liver failure (ALF) occurs when many cells in the liver die or become very damaged in a short amount of time. This causes the liver to fail to work as it should. The liver removes toxins from the body, helps maintain blood glucose levels, is a part of the immune system and regulates blood clotting. When the liver fails it is an emergency and needs to be treated immediately. >>Causes of Acute Liver Failure •Acute liver failure has many causes. Some causes of acute liver failure are: •Metabolic conditions (problems with the physical and chemical processes inside the liver that must happen for a person to live) •Infections/viruses •Immunological dysfunction •Cardiovascular conditions (which cause a lack of blood supply to the liver) Often the cause of acute liver failure in children cannot be found. One study showed that this was the case for about 44% of all children with acute liver failure. This number is about 63% in children with acute liver failure under 2 years of age.
