Acute liver failure: complex multisystem illness that evolves quickly after a catastrophic insult to the liver, leading to coagulopathy and encephalopathy; based on onset of encephalopathy – hyperacute (within 7 days), acute (8–28 days), subacute (>28 days) Allograft: an organ or tissue transplanted from one individual to another Chronic liver disease: progressive deterioration of liver functions for more than 6 months, with in /f_l ammation, destruction and regeneration of liver parenchyma, leading to /f_i brosis and cirrhosis Heterotopic graft: a graft placed in a site different from that where the organ is normally located HLA: human leukocyte antigen, the main trigger to graft rejection MELD score: model for end-stage liver disease score; predicts prognosis in patients with chronic liver disease and is used to allocate liver for transplant NAFLD: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; associated with metabolic syndrome (obesity, hyperlipidaemia and diabetes mellitus). Some patients develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which leads to /f_i brosis and cirrhosis Orthotopic graft: a graft placed in its normal anatomical site UKELD score: United Kingdom model for end-stage liver disease score; predicts survival of patients listed for LT in the UK
