2020, African Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :The King's College Hospital Criteria is used to determine the need for liver transplantation. Without liver transplantation, the mortality rate is high in patients presenting in fulminant hepatic failure, especially when presenting with encephalopathy, a PT > 100 or serum creatinine > 3.3mg/dL (291 μmol/L) [10]. Other factors that may decrease the threshold for considering transplantation, are:
