The Acute Liver Failure Checklist app was developed by the Acute Liver Failure Study Group, a NIH-funded cooperative network formed to study this rare and devastating disease, which has enrolled over 2000 patients since 1998. It is designed for use by medical professionals caring for patients in the intensive care unit with acute liver failure, which is a short-term hepatic illness associated with coagulopathy and hepatic encephalopathy (mental status changes associated with liver failure). The goals of this checklist: 1) improve and standardize clinical management, 2) improve diagnostic acumen, and 3) improve patient survival. Features: Task list to be done on admission and daily in all cases of acute liver failure Diagnostic test checklist and recommended therapies Admission and daily evaluation checklist, categorized by systems Instructional video More information can be found at the Acute Liver Failure Study Group website: http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/acute-liver/
