Comparative StudyDelayed encephalopathy in fulminant hepatic failure in the pediatric population and the role of liver transplantation.
Liver transplantation is the therapeutic choice for fulminant hepatic failure in children. ⋯ From these studies, we conclude that liver transplantation remains the therapeutic choice for fulminant hepatic failure in children. Early referral and closer follow-up is necessary for timely admission to liver transplant centers to enable screening and proper preparation of these patients for liver transplantation.
