ABSTRACT
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a disease of rapid deterioration of liver function caused by the acute exacerbation of chronic liver diseases, and it is often associated with multiple organ failure and has a poorer prognosis than common liver cirrhosis. Many studies suggest that timely liver transplantation can significantly improve the survival rate of patients with ACLF; however, there are currently no reliable guidelines that point out the indications for liver transplantation in patients with ACLF. This article summarizes recent studies and discusses the indication, timing, and prognosis of liver transplantation in ALCF patients.
