AB  - ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISDrugs,  toxins,  viral  hepatitis,  and  hypoperfusion  are  the  most  common  causes  of  acute  liver  failure  (ALF).Laboratory  findings  may  confirm  the  cause  and  severity  of  presentation.Consider  acetaminophen  toxicity  in  all  patients,  even  without  a  history  of  toxic  ingestion,  particularly  when  serum  aminotransferase  levels  are  very  high  (>1000  units).Depending  on  timing  of  ingestion,  acetaminophen  levels  may  not  be  elevated  even  in  cases  of  overdose.Rapid  diagnostic  and  psychiatric  evaluation  is  required  at  presentation.
