Mechanism of cell death in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure: a clinico‐pathologic‐biomarker study

Abstract

The results of this study suggest that hepatocyte apoptosis is the predominant mode of cell death in ACLF, which can be identified in the peripheral blood. Further studies are required to validate our findings and to determine whether M30 can be used as a biomarker of apoptosis or as a target for therapy.
