Key Words Critical care hepatology; Acute-on-chronic liver failure; Liver cirrhosis; Acute liver failure; Liver transplantation
Core Tip Critical care hepatology has emerged as a distinct multidisciplinary field integrating hepatology, intensive care, and transplant medicine. Modern management of acute liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver failure extends beyond supportive care and requires individualized strategies for circulatory dysfunction, kidney injury, infection, neurological complications, and rebalanced hemostasis. This review summarizes current concepts in organ support, antimicrobial stewardship, extracorporeal therapies, and liver transplantation, while highlighting the growing role of specialized liver-focused intensive care models in improving outcomes for critically ill patients with liver disease.
