Resumen
DELGADO AYALA, Francisco et al. Acute over chronic hepatic insufficiency. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.4, pp.524-534. Epub 01-Ago-2022. ISSN 1870-7203. https://doi.org/10.35366/102540.
There is a large population in Mexico with cirrhosis, which is among the first causes of death in our country. Patients with liver disease can be classified as compensated or decompensated, but there is a small portion of patients with liver disease to whom an insult added to their disease will lead them to a state of multiple organ failure, regardless of the reason for cirrhosis or its stage. This evolution that differs from those already known, is known as acute on chronic liver failure and is a newly described pathology. The importance of knowing this pathology is the prognosis and the management for the correct evolution of this type of patient.
