3️⃣ Acute Pancreatitis
Early fluid resuscitation, pain management, enteral nutrition and infection prevention for moderate-to-severe cases.
4️⃣ Abdominal Sepsis & Liver Abscess
Ultrasound-guided drainage and broad-spectrum antibiotics for liver or intra-abdominal infections causing sepsis.
Understanding Acute Liver Failure (ALF)
ALF occurs when liver cells are severely damaged in a short time, leading to loss of detoxification and clotting functions. Without timely critical care, it can result in brain swelling, bleeding and multi-organ failure.
Common Causes
- Viral Hepatitis A/B/E
- Drug toxicity (Paracetamol overdose, Herbal medicines)
- Alcohol-related liver disease
- Sepsis or shock-related liver injury
- Fatty liver of pregnancy or autoimmune hepatitis
Symptoms Requiring Immediate ICU Admission
- Yellowing of eyes (jaundice) and confusion
- Vomiting blood or black tarry stools
- Severe abdominal pain and swelling
- Bleeding gums or bruises without injury
- Drowsiness or coma
1. Comprehensive Diagnosis
Liver function tests, clotting profile, ultrasound abdomen and endoscopy (if bleeding source unknown).
2. Hemodynamic & Organ Support
Maintenance of blood pressure and oxygen levels through fluids, vasopressors and ventilator support if needed.
3. Management of Bleeding
- Blood and plasma transfusions
- Endoscopic therapy for variceal bleed
- Correction of clotting disorders and electrolytes
4. Infection Control & Nutrition
Antibiotic therapy to prevent sepsis and protein-controlled nutrition for liver support.
5. Monitoring for Encephalopathy
Close neurological observation and medication to control brain swelling due to ammonia build-up.
