Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers (>100,000/year) and accounts for more than 56,000 emergency room visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and an estimated 458 deaths due to acute liver failure each year. Data from the U.S. Acute Liver Failure Study Group regist

and the Acute Liver Failure Study Group Acute liver failure (ALF) due to drug-induced liver injury (DILI), though uncommon, is a concern for both clinicians and patients. The Acute Liver Failure Study Group has prospectively collected cases of all forms of acute liver failure since 1998. We describe
Serum levels of group-specific component (Gc) protein are useful in evaluating the likelihood of survival in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) who may be candidates for liver transplant surgery. Most methods for quantifying Gc protein concentration are either isotopic, manual, technically dema
In addition to the hypothetical liver vulnerability of homozygous CCR5-โฌ32 patients, it seems that CCR5 de ficiency may increase the susceptibility to other diseases. Preliminary results from our laboratory also suggest that CCR5-deficient mice disclose higher susceptibility to experimental pancrea
