Acute on Chronic

liver failure Acute on chronic liver failure is a serious medical condition in which a person's already damaged or diseased liver rapidly deteriorates. It is caused by a sudden worsening of acute liver disease or by the persistence of chronic liver disease. Symptoms may include jaundice, abdominal pain, fatigue, and confusion. Left untreated, it can lead to liver failure and death. Treatment for acute on chronic liver failure typically includes controlling the underlying cause, addressing any infections, providing nutritional support, and in more severe cases, a liver transplant. Early detection and proper treatment can improve prognosis and quality of life for those affected by this illness.
