A new prognostic formula for adult acute liver failure using computer tomography-derived hepatic volumetric analysis

Background/Aims King’s College Hospital (KCH) criteria and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score are useful and widely-employed prognostic markers for acute liver failure (ALF). We previously reported that liver atrophy is an important prognostic factor for ALF. The aim of the present study was to assess the value of liver volumetry and to generate a new prognostic formula.
