The Liver Failure Program Acute and chronic liver failure develop when the liver is no longer able to perform its routine function.
Liver failure can lead to coma, renal failure and cardiopulmonary collapse.
The Liver Failure Program gives patients and referring physicians access to a team of health care providers from many specialties who are experts in caring for patients with deteriorating liver function. The program offers new therapies, with the potential to eliminate the need for liver transplant or sustain the patient until a liver becomes available. These include liver dialysis and cellular transplant.
