Core Tip	Dengue-associated acute liver failure is a severe but potentially reversible condition. With early recognition and prompt supportive management, many patients can achieve transplant-free survival. Understanding the key prognostic indicators and pathophysiological mechanisms is critical for optimizing outcomes, especially in resource-limited, dengue-endemic regions where access to liver transplantation may be restricted.
