Study of Causative Factors and Comparison of Prognostic Scores in Acute on Chronic Liver Failure

Abstract

ACLF grade 1, 2, and 3 groups in the basal ganglia (P 8 10 9 m/s) in frontal white matter were independent predictors of 90-day mortality. Conclusions: Our study conclusively demonstrates that cerebral edema increases with severity of ACLF and is predominantly due to extracellular brain water increase. Correlation between MD values and IL-6 levels suggests pathogenic role of inflammation. MELD score and cerebral edema have prognostic significance in ACLF patients.
