Ischaemic hepatitis is a diffuse hepatic injury resulting from acute hypoperfusion (sometimes known as 'shock liver'). It is not an inflammatory process. It is diagnosed in the presence of an inciting event (e.g. a cardiac arrest) and marked increases in aminotransferase levels (exceeding 1000 international unit/L or 50 times the upper limit of normal). Often, it will occur in conjunction with acute kidney injury (tubular necrosis) or other end-organ dysfunction.
