Description
Inclusion Criteria:
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) according to the consensus criteria recently defined by the CANONIC study group [Moreau 2013]. Patients with acute decompensation of cirrhosis [defined as acute development of one or more of the following: ascites (onset and/or worsening), hepatic encephalopathy (onset and/or worsening), gastrointestinal haemorrhage, bacterial infection] are classified as ACLF if one of the following applies:
- single kidney failure (serum creatinine level ≥ 2 mg/dl) or
- single failure of one of the following organ systems: liver, coagulation, circulation, or respiration, together with a serum creatinine level ranging from 1.5 to < 2.0 mg/dl and/or mild to moderate hepatic encephalopathy or
- single cerebral failure together with serum creatinine level ranging from 1.5 to < 2.0 mg/dl or
- two or more organ failures. Organ failures are defined according to the CLIF-C OFs [Jalan 2014].
- Age ≥ 18 years, male or female
- Written informed consent from patient, legal or authorized representative or a confirmation of justification of trial participation by an independent medical consultant PLEASE NOTE: In case of confirmation by the independent medical consultant a deferred informed consent from patient, legal or authorized representative has to be given
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior not curatively treated or active malignancies
- Sickle cell disease
- septic shock, defined by the following symptom complex: bacteraemia AND SIRS AND shock
- WBC-count of > 50 x 109/L
- Known HIV infection
- Known intolerance to filgrastim
- Suspected lack of compliance
- Pregnant or nursing women
- Fertile women (within two years of their last menstruation) without appropriate contraceptive measures (implanon, injections, oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, partner with vasectomy) while participating in the trial (participants using a hormone-based method have to be informed of possible effects from the trial medication on contraception).
- Participation in other interventional trials
