Given the growing abuse of these substances, clinicians should consider their use in the differential of such patient presentations. To our knowledge, only a few published case reports discuss multiple organ failure associated with SC toxicity, and only two have described an associated acute liver failure. Our report describes the first case of SC-associated acute liver failure requiring organ transplantation. Clinicians should be aware of life-threatening complications and consider SC ingestion in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with multiple organ failure.
