摘　　要：To the Editor:Acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)is a syndrome in patients with chronic liver disease/cirrhosis,characterized by acute deterioration of liver function with one or more extra hepatic organ failures.[1] ACLF may lead to an increased 28-day mortality rate,ranging from 23%to 74%.[2]The common precipitant injuries that influence the course of ACLF include viruses,drugs,alcohol,infection/sepsis,gastrointestinal hemorrhage,ischemia,surgery,and idiopathic insults.[1] There are few case reports on thyrotoxicosis triggered by iodinated contrast media(ICM)exposure that promotes ACLF.Here we report one such case.
