fulminant liver failure(FLF)is a rapid onset life-threatening emerency in which liver dysfunction,liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy occur within 8 weeks in previouslv norillal person.It has been confirmed by available clinical experience and literatures during the past decades that FLF patients are ideal recipients of liver transplantation.However,the prognosis of the FLF patients who accepted liver transplantation differed greatly according to the available reports because of the differences of supportive treatment during waiting period,the criterion for recipient assessment,the determination of operation chance,the use of critical techniques during operation and postoperative management between different transplantation centers.We probe the standardized clinical use of the aspects above mentioned in liver transplantation for FLF,particularly discuss the treatment of complications resulting from coagulopathy,determination of operation chance,significance of standardized etiological treatment and the indication of the use of veno-venous bypass technique during transplantation to provide better treatment strategy and improve the prognosis of FLF patients.
