Core Tip	The most common acute precipitant for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is infection. The Chronic Liver Failure-Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (CLIF-SOFA) criteria is better than Asia-Pacific Association for the Study of Liver criteria in defining ACLF as the CLIF-SOFA criteria identifies patients with a high likelihood of mortality who could benefit from liver transplantation or inclusion into trials of newer therapeutic modalities. Mortality increases with increasing grades of ACLF based on number of organ failures in Asian-Indian patients similar to the results seen in the European population. Also, the multi-organ failure CLIF-SOFA score is better than liver specific Model for End-Stage Liver Disease and Child-Pugh scores, suggesting that ACLF leads to multi-organ failure and is not limited to the liver.
