Abstract
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a dynamic syndrome associated with a very high short-term mortality. Hence, the ongoing assessment of treatment response, an expedited liver transplant evaluation and listing, and the determination of futility of treatment are critical for optimal outcomes. In this review, we appraise our current understanding of the timing and futility of liver transplantation, and the short- and long-term outcomes including the quality of life after deceased or live donor liver transplantation in those with ACLF.Entities:
