| Core Tip |
Hepatitis A virus infection is among the most common causes of acute viral hepatitis globally. Predicting the clinical course of hepatitis A virus infection remains challenging. Risk factors such as encephalopathy, leukocytosis, acute kidney injury, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperbilirubinemia can be used to identify patients at risk for developing acute liver failure. Previously, we reported a fulminant hepatitis incidence of 0.3%, which increased to 1.8% in individuals older than 49 years, with serum creatinine level > 2 mg/dL being the strongest predictor of fulminant hepatitis or mortality. Given the epidemiological transition of this disease in Mexico, updated data are crucial. |
