The patient developed acute liver failure 8 weeks after the initial trauma. Investigations Laboratory investigations, Doppler ultrasound, CT, ultrasound, angiography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography, liver biopsy, bacteriology and X-ray. Diagnosis Sclerosing cholangitis in a critically ill patient. Management Orthotopic liver transplantation.
