Acute-on-chronic liver failure [PDF]

Clinical Medicine, 2020
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a recently recognised and defined syndrome seen in patients with liver cirrhosis and carries a high short-term mortality in excess of 15% at 28 days. ACLF is defined by organ failures (OFs) and is distinct from simple 'acute decompensation' (AD) of cirrhosis.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure [PDF]

The Lancet, 2015
Acute-on-chronic liver failure combines an acute deterioration in liver function in an individual with pre-existing chronic liver disease and hepatic and extrahepatic organ failures, and is associated with substantial short-term mortality. Common precipitants include bacterial and viral infections, alcoholic hepatitis, and surgery, but in more than 40%

Potentially hepatotoxic drugs are still being prescribed to liver disease patients under tertiary care: it is time to say enough

Revista Peruana de Investigación en Salud, 2021
Introduction and aim: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) manifests as a spectrum of clinical presentations that carries morbidity and mortality. Patients with chronic liver disease (CLD), particularly hospitalized, are at high risk for developing DILI.

Acute‐on‐chronic liver failure: Epidemiology, prognosis, and outcome of a multicenter study in Thai population

JGH Open, 2022
Background and Aim Acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) leads to multi‐organ failure related to high mortality rates. This study aimed to gather epidemiological data and validate a scoring system to predict mortality in ACLF.

Liver Support System and Transplant-Free Survival Patients with Liver Failure: An Evidence-Based Case Report

The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy, 2022
Background: The mortality rate in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) and acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is still very high. Currently, liver support systems are an alternative therapy in bridging liver transplantation.

Neutrophilia is more predictive than increased white blood cell counts for short-term mortality after liver transplantation in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure [PDF]

Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2023
Background Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a life-threatening disease that requires urgent liver transplantation (LT). Accurate identification of high-risk patients is essential for predicting post-LT survival.
