Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are known to improve hepatic encephalopathy as well as protein malnutrition in cirrhosis. However, such effects in acute hepatic failure (AHF) remain to be elucidated. The current study was conducted to investigate whether BCAA improves protein metabolism in AHF. AH
