Brief Summary: 50 patients of Acute-on-chronic liver failure ACLF will be enrolled and randomized into G-CSFEPO or Placebo arms

Treatment protocol To administer G-CSF in prefilled syringe at a dose of 5 µgkg sc at days 1 2 3 4 5 and then every 3rd day till day 28 total 12 doses along with Darbopoetin alpha 100 mcg week in prefilled syringe for 4 weeks total 4 doses

Standard medical therapy included as per requirement lactulose bowel wash albumin terlipressin antibiotics if indicated will be continued and recorded Pentoxiphylline in alcoholic hepatitis and Tenofovir in Hep B reactivation Controls Standard medical therapy will be given along with placebo in similar prefilled syringes

Follow up Physical examination will be done daily after 1 week and at 4 weeks at 2 months at 3 months and at 6 months CBC on alternate day for 1 week at end of 1 week and then at end of 4 weeks at 2 months at 3 months and at 6 months

KFT on alternate day for 1 week at end of 1 week and then at end of 4 weeks at 2 months at 3 months and at 6 months LFT along with PTINR on alternate day for 1 week at end of 1 week and then at end of 4 weeks at 2 months at 3 months and at 6 months AFP at baseline after 4 weeks at 3 months and at 6 months Liver regenerative potential efficacy testing at baseline and after 4 weeks
