Merli M, Lucidi C, Pentassuglio I, et al. 120. 171. Course of ACLF. Responders to terlipressin have improved survival, and this includes responders who do not have complete HRS-AKI reversal (47,48). Low-dose hydrocortisone in patients with cirrhosis and septic shock: A randomized controlled trial. J Hepatol 2019;72(4):688701. Am J Gastroenterol 2019;114:92937. Liver Int 2019;39:50313. When the MAP is 60 mm Hg despite volume resuscitation, norepinephrine is used as vasopressor therapy. J Hepatol 2014;60:27581. Once ACLF develops, 37% of patients eventually improved, 49% remained stable, whereas 14% deteriorated. Routine use of sedatives is discouraged in patients with grade 34 encephalopathy and may be associated with delay in extubating. Because of underlying immune changes, altered gut microbiota, multiple interventions, and admissions, patients with cirrhosis are at significant risk of nosocomial and fungal infections. A single-center experience on outcomes of complementary and alternative medicine use among patients with cirrhosis. Piano S, Schmidt HH, Ariza X, et al. Gastroenterology 2012;142:7829.e3. In patients with cirrhosis and ACLF who continue to require mechanical ventilation because of adult respiratory distress syndrome or brain-related conditions despite optimal therapy, we suggest against listing for LT to improve mortality (very low evidence, conditional recommendation). The evolving challenge of infections in cirrhosis. Because serum C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and bacterial DNA levels are often elevated in patients with cirrhosis, they are not diagnostic of infection, although persistently high levels correlate with mortality (9295). Am J Gastroenterol 2019;114:8997. Hepatology 2019;69:227183. In patients with cirrhosis with a history of SBP, we suggest use of antibiotics for secondary SBP prophylaxis to prevent recurrent SBP (low quality, conditional recommendation). More rapid completion of a 3-hour sepsis-care bundle and rapid administration of antibiotics is associated with lower risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis (91). Patient education about limiting use of pharmacological agents and avoiding use of CAM is key to the prevention of DILI-associated ACLF. This review updates the understanding of HBV-ACLF from epidemiological and clinical studies and provides new insights into the definition, diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment, and prognostication of HBVs-ACF. 177. Albumin has several potential benefits beyond the oncotic effect. Patients with cirrhosis who acquire an infection may not have typical symptoms of infection. The aetiology and the interval from onset of jaundice to the development of encephalopathy have a significant impact on prognosis. 60. 51. The lack of objective biomarkers has hampered the diagnosis of ACLF beyond organ failures, which occur too late in the natural history of disease (7). Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2020;32:12228. No study has ever documented superiority of one regimen over another. 117. The APASL definition of ACLF was used in this study. Terlipressin and albumin vs albumin in patients with cirrhosis and hepatorenal syndrome: A randomized study. The documented presence of infection in a patient with ACLF is a strong negative prognostic factor (64,86,97). Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol 2018;12:34150. Villa E, Camma C, Marietta M, et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2019;17:75665.e3. Emerging data show that terlipressin may be associated with respiratory failure in patients with underlying respiratory comorbidities (45), especially in those with grade 3 ACLF, and therefore, caution should be exercised when used in these patients (47). 137. When choosing antibiotics in patients with a history of ascites, one should also consider the sodium content. 116. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy. Diagnosis. Of importance, especially as it relates to patients with cirrhosis, rates of Clostridium difficile infection and ICU and hospital lengths of stay were not significantly impacted by the type of gastric acid reducing medication used. This occurred in 5 patients who had underlying cirrhosis and were designated to have DILI-related ACLF. Moreno C, Deltenre P, Senterre C, et al. 191. 13. Management of renal dysfunction in inpatients with cirrhosis: Patients with stage 2 AKI are usually inpatients because they not only have significant renal dysfunction, but frequently, the precipitating event that leads to AKI also needs treatment. Hepatology 2020;71:100922. AKI and chronic kidney disease (CKD), as outlined by the International Club of Ascites (ICA), should replace the old nomenclature of type 1 and type 2 HRS. 167. J Hepatol 2017;66:44250. 98. ACLF developed in 11.4% (18/158) cases within 1 month of ERCP. Drolz A, Horvatits T, Roedl K, et al. Sort P, Navasa M, Arroyo V, et al. Clinical performance of stem cell therapy in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis. February 2022 Washington State Department of Health Page 2 of 6 . Patients with chronic liver disease may progress to cirrhosis. Vasoconstrictors are used to improve splanchnic and systemic hemodynamics, so to improve renal perfusion and function. AKI, acute kidney injury; HRS, hepatorenal syndrome. Of the 441 ERCP procedures performed, 158 were performed in patients with established cirrhosis, with decompensation being present at the time of ERCP in 71 cases (45%). Rout G, Shalimar, Gunjan D, et al. Factors associated with survival of patients with severe acute-on-chronic liver failure before and after liver transplantation. It can be challenging to make decisions pertaining to end-of-life measures and evaluating patients for LT when they are comatose (32,33). Of course, other viral hepatitis occurring either de novo or superimposed on other chronic viral hepatitis infection can also precipitate ACLF (145,146). Placement of an arterial line and central venous access in patients with circulatory shock is highly recommended. EASL clinical practice guidelines on nutrition in chronic liver disease. Malnutrition, frailty, and sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis: 2021 practice guidance by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases. Boyle G. Simultaneous liver kidney (SLK) allocation policy. 165. These latter devices require a source of cells, traditionally human or porcine hepatocytes. Hepatology 2013;57:115362. The current guideline represents the synthesis of the current and emerging data on ACLF as a major entity in patients with chronic liver disease. Effects of fractionated plasma separation and adsorption on survival in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure. Burki TK. On multivariate analysis, the only independent predictor of overall mortality was the ACLF grade, with 100% of patients with grade 2 ACLF having died at a mean of 120 days. Hepatitis Bassociated ACLF therefore is much more common in Asia than in Western countries, contributing to 15% of cases of ACLF in Asian Pacific countries (142,143). Nevertheless, it is important that AAH be optimally treated to reverse ACLF. A strength of recommendation is given as either strong (recommendations) or conditional (suggestions) based on the quality of evidence, risks vs benefits, feasibility, and costs taking into account perceived patient and population-based factors (3). Choudhury A, Jindal A, Maiwall R, et al. Gastroenterology 2016;150:157989.e2. Hepatology 2020;71:23546. Management of Acute Liver Failure AASLD develops evidence-based practice guidelines and practice guidances which are updated regularly by a multi-disciplinary panel of experts, including hepatologists, and include recommendations of preferred approaches to the diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive aspects of care. Hayashi PH, Rockey DC, Fontana RJ, et al. 70. Other viral infections that cause ACLF are hepatitis A and E infections superimposed on chronic liver disease or hepatitis D superimposed on hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection. ACLF is recognized by the presence of chronic liver disease along with elevation in the serum bilirubin and prolongation of the INR. Dire although this might sound, this mortality is a significant improvement from the near fatal outcome 20 years ago (159). Guidelines for management of pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) were recently published by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) and the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). In hospitalized patients with cirrhosis and HRS-AKI without high grade of ACLF or disease, we suggest terlipressin (moderate quality, conditional recommendation) or norepinephrine (low quality, conditional recommendation) to improve renal function. The multiple definitions for ACLF have also resulted in substantial confusion among multidisciplinary teams caring for these patients, especially regarding whether such patients should receive early transplantation or whether they should be excluded from transplantation. In patients with cirrhosis, we suggest avoiding PPI unless there is a clear indication, such as symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux or healing of erosive esophagitis or an ulcer, because PPI use increases the risk of infection (very low quality, conditional recommendation). Hepatology 2013;57:16513. Refer for LT assessment early in the course of AKI. This meta-analysis was limited by high heterogeneity and analysis of multiple types of stem cells/stem cell sources together (mononuclear cells, mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical cord, and bone marrow). Patients with CKD can also develop an acute deterioration in renal function with prerenal azotemia or with the development of a bacterial infection. 117(4):559-587, April 2022. In patients with cirrhosis and elevated baseline serum creatinine (sCr) who are admitted to the hospital, we suggest monitoring renal function closely because elevated baseline creatinine is associated with worse renal outcomes and 30-day survival (but no data that closer monitoring improves these outcomes) (very low quality, conditional recommendation). Comparative effectiveness of pharmacological interventions for severe alcoholic hepatitis: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. Liver Int 2019;39:694704. Larsen FS. Sola E, Sole C, Simon-Talero M, et al. 15. Hepatology 2015;62:23242. 27. The current definitions of ACLF vary worldwide, but despite these differences, patients with ACLF have a uniformly poor prognosis. Characterization of the circulating microbiome in acute-on-chronic liver failure associated with hepatitis B. Liver Int 2019;39:120716. Fernandez J, Acevedo J, Wiest R, et al. 162. Hepatology 2017;66:127585. Patients with ACLF-3 experienced a higher rate of complications after liver transplantation (e.g., infections, hepatic artery, biliary, and neurologic complications) and a longer length of stay (both in the hospital and in the ICU) (194,201). ACG clinical guideline: Alcoholic liver disease. Survival in infection-related acute-on-chronic liver failure is defined by extrahepatic organ failures. The pathophysiology of ACLF has also not been clearly defined. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor for acute-on-chronic liver failure: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Bajaj JS, O'Leary JG, Reddy KR, et al. However, one must be concerned about dose-related hepatotoxicity of statins in patients with ACLF, given the recent randomized study of patients with CTP-B and -C cirrhosis that showed an increase in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in patients randomized to 40 mg per day of simvastatin that was not seen in patients randomized to 20 mg per day or placebo (123). J Clin Exp Hepatol 2020;10:20110. Until the time when the pathogenesis of ACLF is clearly understood, diagnosis of ACLF should rely on a set of symptoms, signs, and laboratory tests. In patients with cirrhosis who are hospitalized, the NACSELD score is likely associated with futility, whereas the EASL-CLIF sequential organ failure assessment score is associated with 28-day prognostication. PPIs have a major but reversible impact on the gut microbiome, which is also associated with complications in patients with cirrhosis (17,114). Seymour CW, Gesten F, Prescott HC, et al. Infections may progress to septic shock where almost 65% of patients will die. A pulmonary arterial catheter to monitor pulmonary arterial pressure is recommended only in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. J Clin Epidemiol 2011;64:38394. In the absence of data, adherence to published guidelines on nutritional support in critically ill patients with cirrhosis is recommended (165,166). Novel risk prediction models for post-operative mortality in patients with cirrhosis. In one small open-label controlled trial, 24 patients with ACLF secondary to HBV reactivation who were randomized to receive human mesenchymal stem cells were compared with 19 control patients who received saline placebo. Hepatol Int 2017;11:46171. It should be noted that these artificial extracorporeal liver support systems can only perform the detoxifying functions of the liver. were the methodologists; all other authors were involved in writing the guidelines. Jasmohan S. Bajaj, MD, MSc, FACG. Nonselective beta-blockers (NSBB) may decrease bacterial translocation, but patients with ACLF have difficulty tolerating clinically relevant doses. The only other publication relating to CAM-induced ACLF is from India, which describes the condition occurring mostly in younger men. The role of ACLF prediction, precipitating factors, individual organ failures, management strategies, and impact on liver transplantation or end-of-life care is evolving. 66. Meersseman P, Langouche L, du Plessis J, et al. It has been shown that damage-associated molecular patterns released from necrotic hepatocytes and breakdown of extracellular matrix can initiate an intense sterile inflammatory response. It seems that patients with more severe liver dysfunction are at higher risk of the development of ACLF with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Gastroenterology 2019;156:138191.e3. Although most data document the utility of daily norfloxacin, in areas where this is not available, daily ciprofloxacin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole may be used. PPI use may be associated with a higher risk of diarrhea and H2 blockers with a higher risk of delirium (62,63). World J Gastroenterol 2013;19:110410. Ann Hepatol 2015;14:63141. Liver Transpl 2020;26(12):165861. Berres ML, Asmacher S, Lehmann J, et al. ERCP was mostly performed for acute cholangitis, choledocholithiasis, biliary stricture, and stent replacement. Hepatology 2014;60:71535. In kidney and heart failure, the criteria for organ failure (kidney or heart) remain the same whether the condition is acute, chronic, or acute-on-chronic. 56. Infection occurs in up to 40% of patients with ACLF at initial presentation and is a leading cause of ACLF in Western countries (14,64,86,87). Role of granulocyte colony stimulating factor on the short-term outcome of children with acute on chronic liver failure. Systemic antibiotics for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia in comatose patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis. The development of ACLF in patients with HBV infection seems to be driven by intense inflammation that is both sterile and infection-related (147). Among nosocomial infections, urinary tract infection was the most common (reported in one-third of hospitalized patients with cirrhosis), followed by respiratory infections and SBP.
