Etiology and outcome of fulminant hepatic failure managed at an Australian liver transplant unit

Background and Aims:  The primary aims were to identify the incidence, etiology and outcome of all adult cases of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) presenting to the Victorian Liver Transplant Unit over the 14 year period since the Unit was established in 1988.
