Liver Fibrosis Markers Improve Prediction of Outcome in Non‐Acetaminophen‐Associated Acute Liver Failure

A prognostic system for acute liver failure (ALF) with a higher predictive value is urgently needed. The role of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in ALF has not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that serologic fibrosis markers, which reflect ECM remodeling, are predictive of ALF outcome at...
