<unk>  is the appearance of severe complications rapidly after the first signs (such as jaundice) of<unk>  disease, and indicates that the<unk>  has sustained severe damage (loss of function of 80–90% of<unk>  cells). The complications are hepatic encephalopathy and impaired protein synthesis (as measured by the levels of serum albumin and the prothrombin time in the blood). The 1993 classification defines hyperacute as within 1 week, acute as 8–28 days, and subacute as 4–12 weeks; both the speed with which the disease develops and the underlying cause strongly affect outcomes.
