A 21-year-old man from India presented with acute hepatitis associated with a 1-week history of abdominal pain, pruritus, and dark urine. Over a 7-day admission, the patient’s acute hepatitis evolved into acute liver failure with low-grade encephalopathy, markedly elevated transaminases, bilirubin, and impaired hepatic synthetic function. He was eventually diagnosed with acute hepatitis E virus (HEV) and was transitioned to supportive management. Acute HEV is a rare cause of acute liver failure.

Idiopathic adulthood ductopenia (IAD) is a chronic small duct cholestatic biliary disease that is characterized by the loss of interlobular bile ducts. It is diagnosed when there is biochemical evidence of cholestatic liver disease, ductopenia on liver biopsy, and no other identifiable cause of cholestasis. We present a patient with 10 days of progressive abdominal pain, jaundice, and worsening liver function tests who advanced to fulminant liver failure with no apparent underlying cause.

In the natural sciences, there has long been a continuous conceptual battle between the ‘‘lumpers’’ and the ‘‘splitters’’—those who wish to lump together phenomena with similarities as variations of an overriding mechanism and those who wish to split observed events into multiple independent phenomena with their own unique mechanisms. Nowhere is this lumper versus splitter dichotomy more apparent than in the field of pain research. Some would extrapolate all findings related to one type of painful stimulus to all types of painful stimuli in all sites.
