Abstract:
The evolution concept of decompensated cirrhosis rebuilds the clinical staging system for decompensated cirrhosis, which changes the focus from the pattern of disease progression to refining the status of acute decompensation onset and proposing "recompensation" of decompensated cirrhosis. During the process, factors such as portal hypertension and systemic inflammatory changes can affect the clinical outcome of decompensated cirrhotic patients. Significantly, more evidence is warranted to elucidate the clinical characteristics and potential mechanisms of achieving "recompensation" after etiology control, such as in viral hepatitis patients.
