Treatment Options and Long-Term Prognosis for Congenital Biliary Atresia

Acute Liver Failure (ALF) refers to a condition where patients without pre-existing liver disease (primarily liver cirrhosis) suddenly develop acute severe liver dysfunction due to massive liver cell necrosis or loss of function. This leads to a clinical syndrome characterized primarily by hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and coagulation dysfunction. This syndrome is severe, with complex clinical symptoms and a high mortality rate, posing a significant threat to people’s health.
