Acute liver failure is classified into hyperacute , acute and subacute depending upon the time lapsed between appearance of jaundice to encephalopathy. It is also classified into fulminant an subfulminant basing upon the time lapsed from start if illness to onset of encephalopathy.
Acute liver failure may be classified on the basis of the time interval between the onset of symptoms and the development of [[encephalopathy]] as hyperacute, [[acute]], [[subacute]], [[fulminant]], subfulminant and late-onset. The different classification systems used are O’Grady system, Bernuau system, and 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 reaction|idiosyncratic drug reactions]] and can also be confused with [[chronic liver disease]]. The hyperacute liver failure has a better [[prognosis]] than subacute liver failure.

Overview

Acute liver failure may be classified on the basis of the time interval between the onset of symptoms and the development of encephalopathy as hyperacute, acute, subacute, fulminant, subfulminant and late-onset. The different classification systems used are O’Grady system, Bernuau system, and 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.

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
  • Hyperacute (0 - 1 week)
  • Acute ( From 2nd week - 4 weeks)
  • Subacute ( From 4th week - 12 weeks)
Bernuau System
  • Fulminant ( 0 - 2 weeks)
  • Subfulminant ( 2 weeks - 12 weeks)
Japanese System
  • Fulminant (0 - 8 weeks)
    • Acute ( 0 - 1.5 weeks)
    • Subacute ( 1.5 weeks - 8 weeks)
  • Late-Onset ( 8 weeks - 12 weeks)

Classification based on etiology

There is no established classification of acute liver failure on the basis of etiology. However, it can be classified on the basis of etiology as:[7][8]

Viral

Metabolic

Vascular

Drugs and Toxins
