✦ Synopsis
Transplant selection committees make truly vital decisions on candidacy for liver transplantation. At times, they deal with insufficient data or are forced to use nonobjective criteria in their decision-making. This is particularly true for patients with acute liver failure (ALF) and perhaps even more evident for patients with acetaminophen (APAP)-related ALF. With ALF, time is of the essence, patients generally cannot be interviewed, and formal committee meetings are often eliminated.
