Abstract
Introduction Acute Liver Failure (ALF) has no effective treatment other than liver transplantation, and is commonly caused by paracetamol overdose. New treatments are needed to treat and prevent ALF. Alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) can promote resolution of liver necrosis and stimulate hepatocyte proliferation. Using AAMs in unscheduled care requires the use of an allogeneic product. A clinical trial is needed to determine the safety and tolerability of allogeneic AAMs.
