RESUMEN
La insuficiencia hepática aguda (IHA) es un síndrome catastrófico
multiorgánico presente en individuos previamente sanos, caracterizado
por disfunción hepatocelular severa. La etiología varía geográfica
y socioeconómicamente. Los virus de hepatitis son la causa
más común en el mundo en vías de desarrollo, en tanto que la IHA
asociada a fármacos es la presentación predominante en Estados
Unidos y Europa. El síndrome clínico es el mismo, independiente
de su causa. Es una combinación única de falla multiorgánica
severa que progresa rápido y con frecuencia asociada a complicaciones
severas. El manejo médico y el trasplante hepático ortotópico
de urgencias han mejorado la supervivencia general de los
pacientes.
