dc.description.abstractBackground/Aims: To present the causes of acute liver failure in Turkey. Materials and Methods: International and national medical research databanks were searched for publications related to acute liver failure and originating from Turkey. Patients in the databank of acute liver failure of our center were also added to this literature search. Patients were evaluated for age, gender, etiology, treatment modality, and outcomes. Results: A total of 308 patients were analyzed. Hepatitis A (20.9%) for children and hepatitis B (34.7%) for adults were the most common causes of acute liver failure. Cryptogenic (18%) and metabolic (14%) reasons were the followings. Wilson's disease was the most common cause of metabolic diseases. Mushroom intoxication was the most frequent factor of toxic liver failure for both adults and children (13%). Firework intoxication, including yellow phosphorus, is an indigenous factor. Anti-tuberculosis agents (3.2%) were the main cause of drug-induced acute liver failures (9%). Paracetamol was responsible for only 0.7% of all acute liver failures. Survival of the transplanted patients (n=118) was better than the non-transplanted patients (n=178) (65% vs. 36% respectively, p<0.001) Conclusion: Preventable causes of acute liver failure in Turkey include hepatitis viruses and intoxication. Active vaccination and public awareness can decrease the number of acute liver failures. Paracetamol is not an emerging reason for acute liver failure in Turkey now, but selling it over the counter may increase the risks.en_US
