Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a widely recognized concept in which acute decompensation (AD) in patients with cirrhosis results in organ failure and high short-term mortality. On the other hand, few studies reflecting the various etiologies of cirrhosis are available. This study examined the clinical features of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related ACLF.
