Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are known to improve hepatic encephalopathy as well as protein malnutrition in cirrhosis. However, such effects in acute hepatic failure (AHF) remain to be elucidated. The current study was conducted to investigate whether BCAA improves protein metabolism in AHF. AH
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.

## Background: Fractional excretion of sodium (fena) has been used in the diagnosis of acute renal failure (arf) to distinguish between the two main causes of arf, prerenal state and acute tubular necrosis (atn). however, many patients with prerenal disorders receive diuretics, which decrease sodiu
To examine the mechanism accounting for the diverse alteration of hepatic metabolism of CYP3A substrates observed with renal function being severely impaired, the hepatic drug metabolizing activity was evaluated using liver microsomes prepared from rats with glycerol-induced acute renal failure (ARF
