In a child with active liver failure, the most important prognosis factor for death is –
Increasing transaminases
Increasing bilirubin
Increasing prothrombin time
Gram (–)ve sepsis
Prognosis of hepatic failure in children 

Children with hepatic failure have somewhat better prognosis.
The prognosis varies considerably with -

i) Cause of liver failure
ii) Stage of hepatic encephalopathy

Poor prognostic factors for mortality


If cause of liver failure is         —>       Wilson disease, idiopathic
Stage IV coma —> Most common cause of death is brain stem herniation
Age < I year
Sepsis
Severe hemorrhage
Renal failure
, Need for dialysis before transplantation

For option b & c -
"Pretransplant serum bilirubin concentration and the INR (prothrombin time) of coagulation are not predictive of post transplant survival".
