The I ntractable L iver D iseases S tudy G roup of J apan, supported by the M inistry of H ealth, L abor and W elfare, established novel diagnostic criteria for “acute liver failure” in 2011. In these criteria, patients without histological findings of hepatitis are included in the disease entity of “acute liver failure”, as in E urope and the USA . In this report, classification criteria for the etiologies of “acute liver failure” in J apan are proposed.
