Liver failure has various clinical types, a complex pathogenesis, and rapid
disease progression, as well as a high mortality rate.
Liver failure caused by
hepatitis B virus infection is the most common type in
China with severe conditions, various
complications, and a mortality rate as high as 40%-90%. Invasive
fungal disease secondary to
acute-on-chronic liver failure can
affect patients’
prognosis and increase mortality rate. This article introduces the
research advances in
hepatitis B-related
liver failure,
artificial liver, and invasive
fungal disease secondary to
acute-on-chronic liver failure in 2016.
