Abstract:
Acute-on-chronic liver failure is a common form of liver failure characterized by complicated clinical manifestations and high mortality.The pathophysiology of ACLF is still unclear.More efficacious treatments are based mainly on a better understanding of the pathophysiology of ACLF.The advances in the pathophysiology of ACLF have been extremely encouraging in the last few years.In this article,we reviewed the progress of ACLF,its definition,etiology and,pathophysiology.
