    Abstract Purpose of review: Acute HBV infection and acute exacerbations of chronic HBV infection can cause acute liver injury (ALI) or fulminant hepatitis (FH). At this stage, spontaneous survival is poor, less than 25%. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of specific management of patients with HBV-ALI/FH.
    Recent findings: Acute HBVinfection and acute exacerbations of chronic HBVinfection can cause acute liver injury (ALI) or fulminant hepatitis (FH). Spontaneous survival at this stage is poor. It is urgent to distinguish between these two entities so that antiviral therapy can be initiated rapidly. Although the indications for antiviral therapy are clear for HBV reactivation, there is no true consensus regarding ALI/FH related to acute HBV infection. The global management of HBV-related FH does not differ from that implemented for other causes of FH, i.e. close cardiorespiratory and neurological monitoring, treatment with acetylcysteine, organ support in the event of organ failure (haemodynamic, renal, respiratory) and albumin dialysis. Liver transplantation remains the only alternative when certain criteria for a poor prognosis are met. A recurrence of HBV infection on the graft can be prevented post-transplant by the administration of HBIG and antiviral therapy for HBV, the modalities varying depending on the risk of recurrence.

    Abstract Background and aims: Treatment of patients with acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) admitted to the ICU is very limited. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the efficiency on liver function and safety of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in critically ill cirrhotic patients admitted with ACLF in a liver ICU.
    Methods: This is a prospective cohort of patients with ACLF grade > 2 treated by TPE admitted to the ICU that was matched to a control group. TPE was performed using a plasma filter (TPE2000, BAXTER®) on a CRRT machine (Prismaflex®, Baxter®). Ratio and type of fluid replacement were 50 % with 5 % albumin solution followed by 50 % with fresh frozen plasma.
    Results: Seven patients with a mean age of 50.6 ± 7.8 years (all males) and 14 controls matched to age, sex, etiology and cause of decompensation were recruited. At ICU admission, mean MELD score was 39.1 ± 2.7, mean SOFA score was 11.6 ± 5.2 and mean CLIF SOFA score was 12.9 ± 2.6. The grade of ACLF was 3 for 3 patients (42.9 %) and 2 for 4 patients (57.1 %). The TPE group had significantly higher levels of bilirubin (392.3 ± 117.1μmol/l vs. 219 ± 185μmol/l , p = 0.04), and INR values (5.7 ± 3.4 vs. 3.5 ± 0.9, p < 0.005) compared to the control group. Patient survival was respectively 28.6 % and 14.3 % at 30 and 90 days in the TPE group and 35.7 % and 7.14 % in the control group respectively (HR: 1 (95 % CI 0.19- 5.2; p = 1). One patient in the TPE group had a liver transplantation 13 days after admission to ICU and is still alive and none in the control group. Two (28.6 %) patients died from complications related to the double lumen catheter used for TPE.
    Conclusion: This pilot study of TPE in patients with ACLF grade 2 and 3 showed a marked but transient improvement in liver function tests. TPE worth to be evaluated in large trials in ACLF patients, with a liver transplant project, and less organ failure.

    Abstract Background & aims: Body composition is sex dependent and associated with an increased mortality risk in patients with cirrhosis. We evaluated whether it was also associated with short-term mortality in patients critically ill with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively included all patients with cirrhosis and ACLF hospitalised in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Lausanne University Hospital between 2010 and 2019 for whom an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan performed ±7 days from admission was available. Patients from the ICU of Paul Brousse University Hospital admitted between 2017 and 2020 served as an external cohort. All body composition parameters at the third lumbar vertebral level (L3) were quantified using a deep learning-based method.
    Results: In total, 192 patients from Lausanne were included. Median age was 62 years and 28-day survival rate was 58.2%. In males, variables independently associated with 28-day mortality on days 1 and 3 were Chronic Liver Failure Consortium (CLIF-C) ACLF-lactate and sarcopenia. In females, CLIF-C ACLF-lactate on days 1 and 3 was the only predictor of 28-day survival. We derived two scores combining sarcopenia and the CLIF-C ACLF-lactate score on days 1 and 3, with area under the receiver operating characteristic outperforming the CLIF-C ACLF-lactate score alone in male but not in female patients. Comparable results were found in the external cohort of 58 patients and supported the sex specificity of the performance of the model. Patients with sarcopenia had increased risks of invasive fungal infection and renal replacement therapy.
    Conclusion: Sarcopenia was associated with 28-day mortality in male but not in female patients critically ill with ACLF. Although screening for sarcopenia could impact the management of male patients, further studies are needed in female cohorts to investigate whether other body composition parameters are associated with outcomes.
    Impact and implications: Body composition, easily assessed by CT, is altered in patients with cirrhosis and associated with outcome; it has never been investigated in patients critically ill with ACLF. The results of the present study, underlining the benefit of sarcopenia evaluation to improve prognosis prediction in males critically ill with ACLF, are of importance for physicians managing such patients to optimise the decision-making process toward continued treatment, liver transplantation, or limitation of care. In a wider sense, besides the number and course of organ failures, the results recall the weight of the general condition of males with ACLF at admission to ICU. In females critically ill with ACLF, in analyses limited by the sample size, none of the body composition parameters was associated with short-term mortality independently of organ failures; this suggests that the number and course of organ failures are the main determinant of mortality in these patients.

    Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 102 consecutive SLKT patients to study the impact of anti-HLA antibodies.
    Results: Anti-HLA antibodies were detected in 75 recipients (class I 23.8%, both classes I and II 23.8%, and class II 14.3%). In total, 42.8% of the patients had pDSA and 21.7% developed dnDSA. Overall patient survival at 1-3 and 5 years, was respectively 88, 84, and 80%. Acute rejection occurred respectively in 3 (2.9%) liver and 6 kidney (5.9%) recipients. pDSA with titers over 10,000 mean fluorescence intensity (14.3%) was associated with lower patient survival (40 vs. 82%) but not with acute rejection. In a multivariable Cox regression analysis, the risk of death was associated with maleness, the highest titer of pDSA (
    Conclusion: In SLKT, high levels of pDSA >10,000 were associated with lower patient survival, but not rejection or graft survival. Minimization of maintenance immunosuppression regimen was not associated with a poorer outcome.

    Abstract Introduction: Mortality rate of patients with cirrhosis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and requiring mechanical ventilation varies between 60 and 91%. The aim of our study is to assess the prognosis of these patients, their 1-year outcome and to analyze predictive factors of long-term mortality.
    Methods: From May 2005 to May 2011, we studied 246 consecutive patients with cirrhosis requiring mechanical ventilation either at admission or during their ICU stay.
    Results: Alcohol was the most common etiology of the cirrhosis (69%). Bleeding related to portal hypertension (30%) and severe sepsis (33%) were the most common reasons for admission. ICU and hospital mortality were respectively 65.9% and 70.3%. Prognostic severity scores, the need for other organ support therapy, infection, and total bilirubin value at ICU admission were significantly associated with ICU mortality. Eighty-four patients (34.1%) were discharged from the ICU. Among these patients, the one-year survival was only of 32%. Logistic regression analysis, using survival at one year as the endpoint, identified two independent risk factors: the length of ventilation (odds ratio [OR] = 1.1; 95% CI, 1.0-1.2; p = 0.02) and total bilirubin at ICU discharge (OR = 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.5; p = 0.006).
    Conclusion: Patients with cirrhosis admitted to the liver ICU and who required mechanical ventilation have a poor prognosis with a 1-year mortality of 89%. At ICU discharge, a total bilirubin level higher than 64.5 μmol/L and length of ventilation higher than 9 days could help the hepatologists to identify patients at risk of death in the year following the ICU discharge.

    Abstract Background & aims: Retrospective studies have reported good results with liver transplantation (LTx) for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in selected patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the selection process for LTx in patients with ACLF admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and to assess outcomes.
    Methods: This prospective, non-interventional, single high-volume center study collected data on patients with ACLF admitted to the ICU between 2017-2020.
    Results: Among 200 patients (mean age: 55.0 ± 11.2 years and 74% male), 96 patients (48%) were considered potential candidates for LTx. Unfavourable addictology criteria (n = 76) was the main reason for LTx ineligibility. Overall, 69 patients were listed for LTx (34.5%) and 50 were transplanted (25% of the whole population). The 1-year survival in the LTx group was significantly higher than in the non-transplanted group (94%
    Conclusion: This prospective analysis of outcomes of patients with ACLF admitted to the ICU highlights the drastic nature of selection in this setting. Unfavourable addictology criteria, mechanical ventilation and increasing number of organ failures since admission were predictive of absence of LTx, futility and death.
    Impact and implications: Liver transplantation (LT) is the best therapeutic option in selected cirrhotic patients admitted to the ICU with acute on chronic liver failure. However, the selection criteria are poorly described and based on retrospective studies. This is the first prospective study that aimed to describe the selection process for LT in a transplant center. Patients with ACLF should be admitted to the ICU and evaluated within a short period of time for LT. In the context of organ shortage, eligibility for LT and either absence of LT, futility of care or death are better clarified in our study. These are mainly determined by prolonged respiratory failure and worsening of organ failures since ICU admission. Considering worldwide variations in the etiology and definition of ACLF, transplant availability and a narrow therapeutic window for transplant further prospective studies are awaited.
