Liver transplantation for acute‐on‐chronic liver failure predicts post‐transplant mortality and impaired long‐term quality of life

Abstract

ACLF predicts impaired post-LT survival. While long-term graft function and extrahepatic comorbidities are comparable in ACLF and non-ACLF LT survivors, the strikingly low QoL in many ACLF-LT recipients warrants consideration during follow-up patient care.
