Liver failure caused by
hepatitis B virus (HBV)
infection is common in
China, among which
acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is the main type.Because the pathogenesis is complex and the
diagnosis and
treatment is difficult,HBV related ACLF has high
mortality.In recent years, some progress has achieved in
diagnosis and
therapy of ACLF.This article reviews the new
strategies and advances about HBV related ACLF on basis of researches at home and abroad,including the definition, mechanisms, management and
prognosis assessment of ACLF.
