- Abstract: Acute-on-chronic liver failure （ACLF） is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by acute deterioration of liver function caused by different factors on the basis of chronic liver disease， accompanied by liver failure and/or extrahepatic organ failure， and it often has a high short-term mortality rate. With the increasing evidence of evidence-based medicine， multiple guidelines and consensus statements have been released， such as Guidelines for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure in traditional Chinese medicine， Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine， and Guidelines for the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure， and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapies for ACLF have been constantly standardized and perfected. This article explores the characteristics and advantages of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy in the whole-course management of ACLF from the aspects of early warning and prevention， treatment in the acute stage， management of complications， and rehabilitation care， in order to enhance the understanding of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment strategies among clinicians.
