• Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in 2022: have novel treatment paradigms already arrived? (nih.gov)
  • Acute-on-chronic failure (ACLF) is a recognized syndrome in patients with chronic liver disease and is characterized by acute decompensation, organ failure(s), and a high short-term mortality. (nih.gov)
  • Patients with ACLF require prompt and early recognition. (nih.gov)
  • Currently, there are no specific targeted treatments for established ACLF, and management revolves around treating underlying precipitants and providing organ support. (nih.gov)
  • Management of ACLF is broadly focused on supportive care often in an intensive care setting with liver transplantation proving to be an increasingly relevant and effective rescue therapy. (nih.gov)
  • The research, which is a collaboration between the Royal Free Hospital, UCL, pharmaceutical company Yaqrit and their collaborators, found that the DIALIVE device was safe and was associated with substantial improvement in the severity of symptoms and organ function in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). (royalfree.nhs.uk)
  • ACLF, a condition that can cause liver function to suddenly decline, placing individuals at high risk of short-term death, accounts for around three million individuals with cirrhosis. (royalfree.nhs.uk)
  • The UK sees around 15,000 ACLF patients each year whose treatment costs the NHS in the region of £100,000 per patient, without improving their mortality risk. (royalfree.nhs.uk)
  • It was performed with the aim of assessing the safety of DIALIVE to treat ACLF patients and to observe its clinical effects. (royalfree.nhs.uk)
  • The results showed that DIALIVE treatment was associated with significantly faster reversal of ACLF compared with standard care, with ACLF resolving in twice the number of patients compared with those who were on standard care. (royalfree.nhs.uk)
  • Despite receiving as little as three days' treatment, patients whose ACLF resolved remained in remission for 28 days afterwards. (royalfree.nhs.uk)
