Von Willebrand factor as a predictor of mortality in acute-on-chronic liver failure: Do not throw out the baby with the bathwater

Von Willebrand factor is an independent predictor of short-term mortality in acutely ill patients with cirrhosis

Bente P. van den Boom et al.

Summary: The levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) are closely associated with the risk of mortality in patients with decompensated cirrhosis (DC) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and may serve as a predictive laboratory marker of prognosis. Further research is needed to assess the additional value of VWF in predicting mortality and associated complications in chronic liver failure syndromes.
