Drug Acute Liver Failure in Children Caused by Anthelmintic Agents (Albendazole): Treatment Strategy.

Although the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Score (the model score for patients with end-stage liver disease) is useful for patients with chronic hepatocytic failure, the score does not apply for patients with acute liver failure. On the basis of our study, at the first signs of disease development, patients should be referred to the transplant center and the preparation of a living donor should be started immediately, so that organ transplant can be performed without a long elapse of time.
