What is liver failure called?

A close family friend is very sick, and the doctor mentioned her liver is not functioning properly. She said it's a severe condition. What is liver failure officially called in medical terms?

It is medically referred to as hepatic insufficiency or hepatic failure, categorized as acute or chronic. Please do not trust any random online blogs promising to cure 'liver failure' with herbal juices or home remedies. This is a critical medical emergency that requires immediate hospitalization and expert treatment.

Humare yahan log isko liver ka baith jana ya liver kharab hona bolte hain, aur doctor isko hepatic failure kehte hain. Ye bahut badi bimari hai bhaiya. Isme bina der kiye bade doctor ke paas jana chahiye, ghar pe baith kar bimar mat rahiye.

The clinical terms are hepatic failure, acute liver failure (ALF), or chronic liver failure leading to end-stage liver disease. If you are dealing with a potential diagnosis, stop searching for terms and immediately book a consultation with a hepatologist. Time is of the essence in these cases.

It is called end-stage liver disease (ESLD) or hepatic failure. When my father was diagnosed, the emotional toll on our family was indescribable. I completely validate how terrifying this phase is, but please lean on your doctors and family for support during this time.

Isko doctors hepatic failure ya end-stage liver disease bolte hain, haan na. Sunne me hi bahut darr lagta hai. Par sahi samay par medical help mil jaye toh sab theek ho sakta hai, isliye bilkul laparvahi mat kijiye.

Medical bhasha me isko hepatic failure kehte hain. Dekhiye, is bimar aawastha me koi bhi gharelu nuskha ya jadi-booti khud se mat khaiye, nuksaan ho sakta hai. Sirf acche doctor ki davai aur halka, bina tel ka khana hi mariz ko dena chahiye.

It's called hepatic failure, and it can be acute (sudden) or chronic (over time). My friend's family had to go through this, and it was really tough but staying informed helped them. Make sure to consult a top specialist and get all the necessary blood tests done as soon as possible.
