AB  - Key  Clinical  Questions  How  is  acute  liver  failure  (ALF)  defined  and  diagnosed,  and  how  does  it  differ  from  acutely  decompensated  cirrhosis?  Which  causes  of  decompensated  chronic  liver  failure  can  also  be  classified  as  “acute”  failure  with  respect  to  transplant  candidacy?  How  should  clinicians  acutely  evaluate,  triage,  and  manage  ALF  patients,  including  initial  diagnostic  and  follow-up  testing?  What  clinical  and  laboratory  parameters  should  be  frequently  monitored?  What  complications  of  ALF  lead  to  high  mortality,  and  how  are  they  managed?  How  is  intracranial  hypertension  and  cerebral  edema  managed  medically?  What  prognostic  measures  best  identify  ALF  patients  who  will  require  liver  transplant  in  order  to  survive?  What  evidence-based  interventions  improve  outcomes  in  patients  with  acute  liver  failure?  Are  they  etiology  specific?
