Application of the Liver Maximum Function Capacity Test in Acute Liver Failure: A Helpful Tool for Decision-Making in Liver Transplantation?

<div><i>Amanita phalloides</i> toxin can cause severe liver damage as observed in the explanted liver of our patient in terms of severe centrilobular necrosis (arrow) and bridging necrosis (arrowhead) of the liver epithelial cells. Asterisk marks central vein (HE staining; magnification: 40x and 100x, resp.) (a, b). This toxin-induced acute liver failure was associated with an appropriate increase of the liver transaminases (AST, ALT) (c) as well as coagulopathy depicted by decrease of the Quick value and increase of the INR (d).</div>
