Core Tip	Acute-on-chronic liver failure, a relatively new clinical entity seen in patients with chronic liver disease including cirrhosis, is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The two most commonly used definitions given by the Asia-Pacific Association for the Study of Liver and the European Association for the Study of Liver - Chronic Liver Failure consortium, are different and appear to identify different set of patients. Because of limited data on these definitions, the World Gastroenterology Organization working party has proposed a new definition to identify patients from whom data can be collected to ultimately arrive at a uniform definition.
