Liver blood supply

Ischemic hepatitis; Shock liver

Treatment depends on the cause of the low blood pressure, which must be addressed to keep the liver's blood supply stable.

Patients generally recover if the underlying illness can be treated. Death from liver failure as a result of hepatic ischemia is very rare.

Liver failure is a possible but rare complication that can lead to death.

See your health care provider urgently if you have persistent weakness or signs of shock or dehydration.
