Abstract
Survival of patients presenting with acute liver failure (ALF) has improved over the past decades due to earlier disease recognition, advances in supportive measures, intensive care, and liver transplantation. Liver assist devices may have a role in future care of patients with ALF, bridging them to recovery or to transplantation. A multidisciplinary team approach to the care of patients with ALF is critical for achieving good patient outcomes.
