Abstract:
Domestic scholars recognize that patients have a "pre-hepatic failure" before they progress to sub-acute and acute-on-chronic liver failure stage, which is also the golden window for effective clinical intervention, so early identification and intervention during this period can reduce the incidence and mortality of liver failure. The Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Failure (2018 Edition) issued by the Chinese Medical Association clearly defines the "pre-stage" of liver failure. And from the perspective of pathophysiological mechanism, the pre-hepatic failure corresponds to the stage of acute liver injury/acute decompensation, inflammation factor/ immunologic derangement. This article briefly introduces the research progress on substantive connotation and pathogenesis of pre-hepatic failure, and puts forward some problems to be explored in the future.
