Article Synopsis
- Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) significantly affects patients with alcoholic hepatitis (AH), with 38.8% mortality observed within 90 days.
- Research analyzed data from the AARC database, revealing a major portion of patients (82.8%) had ACLF, with corticosteroid treatment improving survival rates for nearly half of the steroid responders.
- The AARC score effectively predicts patient outcomes, indicating that those with ACLF grade 3 face higher risks of complications and may benefit from early liver transplantation.
Background And Aims: Limited data exist regarding outcomes of acute variceal bleeding (AVB) in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), especially in those with hepatic failure. We evaluated the outcomes of AVB in patients with ACLF in a multinational cohort of APASL ACLF Research Consortium (AARC).
Methods: Prospectively maintained data from AARC database on patients with ACLF who developed AVB (ACLF-AVB) was analysed.
Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a diverse disease with regard to the site of obstruction, the predisposing thrombophilic disorders and clinical presentation across the Asia-Pacific region. The hepatic vein ostial stenosis and short segment thrombosis are common in some parts of Asia-Pacific region, while membranous obstruction of the vena cava is common in some and complete thrombosis of hepatic veins in others. Prevalence of myeloproliferative neoplasms and other thrombophilic disorders in BCS varies from region to region and with different sites of obstruction.
