title: [The clinical aspects of acute liver failure in leptospirosis].
abstract: Acute hepatic insufficiency is the main link in the pathological process in leptospirosis determining the degree of severity of the condition and level of bodily compensatory potentialities. Pathogenetically, hepatic insufficiency runs its course through the following three stages: compensated, sub-compensated, and decompensated characterized by different levels of functional (excretory-biliary, protein-synthetizing, hemostatic, detoxicating) inadequacy.
