Glucagon is a hormone that stimulates the liver to release glucose from glycogen stores or from gluconeogenesis. However, when the hepatocytes are damaged by alcoholism or other causes of hepatic failure, glucagon is ineffective because the liver cannot respond to its signal. Glucagon administration is contraindicated for hypoglycemic patients with hepatic failure because it will not raise their blood glucose levels and may worsen their acidosis and electrolyte imbalance123

Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency typically presents with sudden, severe pain at rest, which may be accompanied by other signs such as pallor, paresthesia, paralysis, pulselessness, and poikilothermia (the six P's). This condition indicates a critical reduction in blood flow to the affected extremity, requiring immediate medical attention.
