A study in vitro of the sodium pump in fulminant hepatic failure.

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...

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

Fulminant hepatic failure due to metastatic choroidal melanoma

A Rare Presentation of Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report of Hepatic Amyloidosis

The clinically reported case of liver involvement with multiple myeloma (MM) is rare. Amyloidosis, defined as a tissue deposition of clonal light-chain fibrils, has been reported in 10-15% of the MM patients. We described a rare MM patient with the primal presentation of fulminant hepatic failure and biliary system involvement due to amyloidosis. Our patient had the primal symptoms of hyperbili...

Renal retention of sodium in cirrhosis and fulminant hepatic failure.

Abnormal renal retention of sodium is a characteristic finding in both cirrhosis and fulminant hepatic failure. In cirrhosis the pathogenesis varies according to the level of renal perfusion. When this is normal, hyperaldosteronism is probably the most important factor and this results from an increased release of renin by the kidney. The stimulus to the latter may be a shunting of blood from t...
