Acute liver failure (ALF) is a medical emergency with high mortality. Accurate etiological diagnosis, intensive liver support, and liver transplantation are critical for the management of these patients. Malignant infiltration of the liver uncommonly results in ALF. Diffuse infiltration can be missed by imaging, particularly in early stages, and biopsy is often required to clinch the diagnosis. We report a case of ALF due to diffuse liver metastasis.
急性肝衰竭(ALF)是一种死亡率很高的内科急症。准确的病因诊断、强化肝脏支持和肝移植对于这些患者的治疗至关重要。肝脏的恶性浸润很少导致ALF。影像学检查可能会漏诊弥漫性浸润,尤其是在早期阶段,通常需要活检来确诊。我们报告一例因肝脏弥漫性转移导致急性肝衰竭的病例。
