Serum concentrations of the actin scavenger Gc-globulin may provide prognostic information in acute liver failure (ALF). The fraction of Gc-globulin not bound to actin is postulated to represent a better marker than total Gc-globulin but has been difficult to measure. We tested a new rapid assay for

Acute liver failure (ALF) in children is an uncommon but devastating medical condition. Specific therapy is not available except for a handful of etiologies, such as ALF due to hereditary tyrosinemia or acetaminophen (APAP) overdose.

Little information is available on acute liver failure (ALF) in the United States. We gathered demographic data retrospectively for a 2-year period from July 1994 to June 1996 on all cases of ALF from 13 hospitals (12 liver transplant centers). Data on the patients included age, hepatic coma grade o
