Why this SIG, right now
Liver critical care sits at the crossroads of hepatology, transplant medicine, and intensive care, demanding expertise that spans all three disciplines.
Acute-on-chronic liver failure and acute liver failure carry high short-term mortality, and prevalence continues to grow globally. Clinicians need current, practical guidance to act decisively in a narrow therapeutic window.
Management of hepatic encephalopathy, renal replacement therapy, circulatory support, and coagulopathy in liver failure is rapidly evolving. Keeping pace with the evidence directly affects patient outcomes.
The critical care period surrounding liver transplantation involves distinct physiological challenges and decision points that general intensivists and hepatologists benefit from addressing together.

Chair's Note
Critically ill patients with liver disease remain among the most complex and underserved in any ICU. This group exists to close the gap between emerging evidence and bedside practice for the clinicians managing them every day.
Caring for critically ill patients with liver disease presents some of the most complex challenges in modern medicine. These patients often experience rapidly evolving multiorgan dysfunction, requiring timely intervention, specialized expertise, and seamless collaboration between hepatology, intensive care, and transplant teams.
The Liver Critical Care Special Interest Group (LCC-SIG) of INEDSYS aims to bring together a global community of hepatologists, intensivists, transplant specialists, and allied healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing the care of these vulnerable patients.
Through interactive case discussions, expert-led educational programs, and collaborative research, we seek to bridge the gap between hepatology and critical care medicine, promote evidence-based practices, and explore innovative approaches to organ support and peri-transplant management.
Our vision is to create an inclusive international platform that encourages scientific exchange, strengthens multidisciplinary collaboration, and inspires the next generation of clinicians and researchers.
I warmly invite colleagues worldwide to join us in advancing liver critical care and translating shared expertise into better patient outcomes.
“Bridging hepatology and critical care through global collaboration, innovation, and shared expertise to improve outcomes when every moment matters.”
