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

Overview
The causes of acute liver failure causes can be categorized into viral, drugs and toxins, vascular and metabolic. Common causes of acute liver failure include acetaminophen toxicity, viral hepatitis (most commonly A,B and E), alcoholic hepatitis, autoimmune, sepsis, right heart failure and idiopathic. Acetaminophen toxicity is the most common cause in the developed world and viral hepatitis (A, B and E) is most common in the developing world.
Causes
Common Causes
The common causes of acute liver failure are:[1][2][3][4][2][5]
- 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.
- Idiosyncratic reactions to medications such as tetracycline, troglitazone, antituberculosis drugs, and anti-epileptic drugs
- Viral hepatitis (hepatitis A, 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.
- Alcohol
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Acute fatty liver of pregnancy
- Reye syndrome
- Wilson's disease
- Idiopathic (without an obvious cause)
- Diseases of fatty acid oxidation pathways
- Parvovirus B19 infection
- Budd–Chiari syndrome
- Malignancy such as lymphomas
- Shock
- Sepsis
- Hyperthermia
- Hypothermia
- HELP syndrome
