Abstract:
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a syndrome characterized by rapid onset, rapid progression, and poor prognosis. Although much progress has been achieved in the etiology and pathogenesis of ALF and emergency liver transplantation and comprehensive treatment have significantly increased the treatment success rate, there are still many difficult issues in clinical practice. This article reviews the research advances in the classification, etiology, main clinical types, prognostic scoring system, and treatment of ALF in recent years.
