Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study design-Open label randomized controlled trial

Study period-2 years

Study population-All patients of ACLF admitted to ILBS for a period of two years from Feb 2017 to Dec 2018

All the patients of ACLF will receive standard medical therapy and will be randomized within 48 hours of admission into three groups after screening for exclusion and inclusion criteria.(1:2:2) Group A-Standard Medical Therapy only Group B-Standard Medical therapy + Plasma exchange + GCSF Group C-Standard Medical Therapy + GCSF
