Bridging the Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Patient for Liver Transplantation: Pearls and Pitfalls

Description

In this session, the acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) SIG presents a case of a critically ill patient with severe ACLF being evaluated for liver transplantation. The case serves as the springboard to discuss 4 distinct topics focusing on clinical patient management: (1) critical care strategies, (2) bridging therapies, (3) outcomes in patients considered for and transplanted for ACLF, and (4) the role of living donor liver transplantation. The session concludes with a case summary and panel discussion.
