Predicting the prognosis in acute liver failure: results from a retrospective pilot study using the LiMaX test
Lock, et al. Nowadays, acute liver failure is a major cause of short mortality with a poor prognostic. Assessment of hepatic function is crucial in the follow-up of patients with fulminant liver failure.
