Overview
Acute liver failure is classified into three subcategories; hyperacute , acute, and subacute depending upon the time lapsed between the appearance of jaundice, to the development of encephalopathy. In can also be classified into fulminant and subfulminant based upon the time that has lapsed from the start if illness to the onset of encephalopathy.
Classification
Acute liver failure may be classified on the basis of the duration of the symptoms between the onset of jaundice to the onset of encephalopathy. The different classification systems based on the number of weeks from the appearance of jaundice to the encephalopathy are:[1] [2][3][4][5][6]
| Classification system | Duration |
|---|---|
| O’Grady System |
|
| Bernuau System |
|
| Japanese System |

- This classification based on time duration provides helpful clues about etiology, complications, and prognosis such as in hyperacute cases the cause is usually viral infections or acetaminophen toxicity.
- The subacute cases can be due to idiosyncratic drug reactions and can also be confused with chronic liver disease.
- The hyperacute liver failure has a better prognosis than subacute liver failure.
