Plasma prostaglandins in fulminant hepatic failure.

Acute fulminant hepatic failure due to colchicine – a rare manifestation of Gloriosa superba poisoning.

Glyphosate Poisoning with Acute Fulminant Hepatic Failure

Background: Glyphosate containing herbicides are widely used the world over. They are marketed as nontoxic to humans, but numerous studies have showed that these glyphosate-based herbicides (GlySH) can cause multiorgan damage.1 Recent reports of animal studies on rats have raised a doubt of liver damage after long term exposure to GlySH. Case Presentation: a young male had chronic exposure to G...

Fulminant hepatic failure due to metastatic choroidal melanoma

Renal function in fulminant hepatic failure: haemodynamics and renal prostaglandins.

Eighteen patients with fulminant liver failure were studied, 10 with normal renal function (group A) and eight with renal failure (group B, plasma creatinine greater than 200 mumol/l). Renal function was assessed by standard clearance techniques and patients in group B had a marked reduction compared with group A in both renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate. Raised plasma renin acti...

Fibronectin in fulminant hepatic failure.

Thirteen out of 17 patients with fulminant hepatic failure had plasma fibronectin concentrations below the normal range (194--472 micrograms/ml), the mean concentration in all 17 patients being 117.9 +/- SE 19.4 micrograms/ml. There was a significant negative correlation between plasma fibronectin concentration and aspartate aminotransferase activity, suggesting that fibronectin is consumed dur...
