[Acute-on-chronic liver failure - new Definition of a complex clinical picture]
Abstract:
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is characterized by a sudden onset of decompensation in patients with preexisting liver disease followed by subsequent organ failure and high short-term mortality. ACLF is extremely heterogeneous in terms of predisposing stage of liver disease, precipitating events, and the course of organ failure and has been defined differently by different medical associations in the East and in the West. A recent consensus working definition is the basis for further research in order to understand underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, to establish diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and to implement risk-adapted treatment strategies.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
