Abstract
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome of systemic inflammation and multiple organ system failures that is associated with a significantly high 28-day mortality ranging from 15-89%,(1) and which is increasing in prevalence in the United States and globally.(2) Although several definitions for ACLF exist, it is generally agreed upon that this condition yields greater non-transplant mortality than mere decompensated cirrhosis. The EASL-CLIF definition of ACLF categorizes patients according to the number of organ failures present, specifically as 1 organ failure (ACLF-1), 2 organ failures (ACLF-2) and 3 or more organ failures (ACLF-3).(1) Liver transplantation (LT) remains the only life-saving intervention in this population, especially among those with ACLF-3.
