Causes and outcomes of acute liver failure in Chinese children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at what causes acute liver failure in children in China and how well they recover. By understanding these factors, doctors hope to improve care and predict outcomes better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 18 years old or younger.
- Your child must have severe liver problems that started within the last 8 weeks.
- Blood tests must show a clotting problem that does not get better with vitamin K.

This trial looks at children with sudden severe liver injury. It tests treatments for acute liver failure to understand how to help them recover.
This study looks at people with acute liver failure—a serious condition where the liver suddenly stops working—to understand what causes it and predict how patients will do. Researchers collect information about patients' health to identify patterns that might help doctors treat future patients better.
This trial tests whether a higher volume of plasma exchange (cleaning the blood to remove toxins) works better than the standard amount for children with acute liver failure who are not improving with usual care.
This is a study that collects real-world information about people with liver failure or “pre-liver failure.” It aims to help doctors choose the best management approach for patients like you and improve care over time.
This trial is testing new scoring systems to better predict how patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure will do. It may help doctors make more informed treatment decisions for people with this serious liver condition.
This study looks at patients with cirrhosis who are admitted to the intensive care unit with acute-on-chronic liver failure. It aims to understand and improve care for this serious condition using a standard scoring system.
