Abstract
The prognosis for patients suffering from fulminant hepatic failure is still poor. The possibility of performing liver transplantation has improved the outcome for the patient. The article presents three cases illustrating some of the difficulties in selecting patients for transplantation, and discusses clinical and laboratory monitoring of patients with fulminant hepatic failure and criteria for selecting patients for liver transplantation.
