Liver Failure versus Organ Failure in Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure: Sequence and Consequence

Key Points

• The study aims to assess the impact of the timing of organ failure on outcomes in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure.
• Comparative analysis of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure
• Assessment of organ failure presence at admission versus during hospitalization
• Evaluation of 28-day survival rates based on initial renal versus liver failure
• Patients with initial renal failure have over a 90% survival rate at 28 days
• Survival rates drop significantly for those developing renal failure during hospitalization
• Initial liver failure is associated with worse outcomes compared to initial renal failure
