  1. None of my patients who died in hepatic coma ever told me they had pain. Nor much of anything else.

    As to what makes them shut down, you want an entire textbook of medicine in one paragraph.  Tylenol and alcohol are the commonest causes of acute liver failure in the US, I understand.

    You will have to refer to a good medical text  to get the differential diagnosis of acute renal failure and acute hepatic failure.
