SOCIETY: AGA Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome defined as rapid decompensation of liver function and organ failure on a patient suffering from chronic liver disease with potentially lethal complications. Managing a patient with ACLF is extremely challenging. The session will address definition and etiologies of ACLF, multisystemic involvement, treatment options and when to discuss the option of palliative care. Due to the complexity of managing these patients it is imperative for a general gastroenterologist to recognize this entity and guide further care
