Abstract:
Liver failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by serious liver damages.It can results from a variety of causes,and the prognosis is usually poor.How to objectively assess the severity of liver failure and accurately predict the prognosis are the hot spots and challenges in studies on liver failure.The assessment criteria and models widely used clinically include:Child-Turotte-Pugh (CTP) score,acute physiology,age and chronic health evaluation(APACHE) Ⅱ/Ⅲ score,King's College Hospital (KCH) criteria,sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score.Besides,more factors are identified as potential markers in prognosis assessment.This paper reviews the importance of prognosis assessment in liver failure,and introduces current and new systems or markers in prognosis assessment.
