"The ALF Study Group is collecting information on the natural history, causes and outcomes of Acute Liver Failure in the United States. Information from the patient's hospital records, as well as blood and tissue samples, when available, are used to study this condition. Spin-off studies will include an expanded effort to discover new viruses that cause liver failure, and the development of a more detailed registry to identify cases of liver failure due to drug overdoses."
The more we study, the more we know. ALF is such a rare disease that studys like this must be done in order for science to grow in its knowledge of such a topic.
