==Overview==
There are various causes that can lead to the development of acute liver failure, the most common of which is [[acetaminophen]] overdose, usually as a consequence of attempted suicide. Other toxins such as alcohol, poisonous mushrooms, and other medications can also lead to the development of acute liver failure. It can also be idiopathic, or as a consequence of other diseases or conditions such as; [[Wilson's disease]], [[autoimmune hepatitis]], [[Reye syndrome]], [[viral hepatitis]], [[parvovirus B19]] infection, and acute fatty liver of pregnancy.
The causes of acute liver failure can be categorized into [[viral]], [[drugs]] and [[toxins]], [[vascular]], and [[metabolic]]. Common causes of acute liver failure include [[acetaminophen]] toxicity, [[viral hepatitis]] (most commonly [[hepatitis A]], [[hepatitis B]] and [[hepatitis E]]), [[alcoholic hepatitis]], [[autoimmune]], [[sepsis]], [[right heart failure]], and [[idiopathic]]. [[Acetaminophen]] toxicity is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the developed world and [[viral hepatitis]] (most commonly [[hepatitis A]], [[hepatitis B]] and [[hepatitis E]]) is most common in the developing world.

* [[Acetaminophen]] overdose is the most common cause. The reason is usually suicidal intent. Additionally, the toxic threshold dose of acetaminophen decreases in some cases such as in chronic [[alcoholics]], [[diabetics]], and while fasting.

* Idiosyncratic reactions to medication is the second most common cause. Culprit drugs are: [[tetracycline]], [[troglitazone]], antituberculosis drugs, and [[anti-epileptic]] drugs
* [[Acetaminophen]] overdose, the reason is usually suicidal intent. Additionally, the toxic threshold dose of [[acetaminophen]] decreases in some cases, such as in chronic alcoholics, [[diabetics]], and while fasting. Drug-induced acute liver failure is the most common cause in the developed world. It is responsible for more than 50% of the cases of acute liver failure in the United States.
* Excessive alcohol intake and severe [[alcoholic hepatitis]]
* Idiosyncratic reactions to medications such as [[tetracycline]], [[troglitazone]], [[Antituberculosis|antituberculosis drugs]], and [[anti-epileptic]] drugs
* Viral hepatitis ([[hepatitis A]] or [[hepatitis B|B]]). The incidences of acute liver failure in post-viral hepatitis has decreased due to the extensive vaccination against these infections.
* Viral hepatitis ([[hepatitis A]], [[hepatitis B|B]] and [[hepatitis E]]) are the most common. The incidence of acute liver failure in post-viral hepatitis has decreased due to the vaccination and improved sanitation in the developed world. However, it is still the most common cause in the developing world.

Overview

The causes of acute liver failure can be categorized into viral, drugs and toxins, vascular, and metabolic. Common causes of acute liver failure include acetaminophen toxicity, viral hepatitis (most commonly hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis E), alcoholic hepatitis, autoimmune, sepsis, right heart failure, and idiopathic. Acetaminophen toxicity is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the developed world and viral hepatitis (most commonly hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis E) is most common in the developing world.

Causes

Common Causes
