摘要: 慢加急性肝衰竭(ACLF)是一种在慢性肝病基础上由急性诱因引发的高病死率综合征,临床发现ACLF具有一定可逆性,早期干预可改善预后,延误诊治则显著增加病死率。近年来,领域内学者提出“ACLF前期”(Pre-ACLF)概念,旨在通过早期识别和干预改善临床结局。本文系统回顾了Pre-ACLF的概念起源及国内外的最新定义,总结了Pre-ACLF研究中传统临床-实验室指标、高通量组学和分子生物学机制的最新进展;并提出需进一步统一Pre-ACLF定义的重要临床需求。Abstract: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome with high mortality triggered by acute predisposing factors in patients with underlying chronic liver diseases. Clinical studies have shown that ACLF can be reversed to a certain degree, and early intervention can improve patient prognosis, whereas delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to a significant increase in mortality. In recent years, scholars in this field have proposed the concept of “pre-acute-on-chronic liver failure (Pre-ACLF)”, which aims to improve clinical outcomes through early identification and intervention. This article systematically reviews the origin of the Pre-ACLF concept and its latest definitions in China and globally, summarizes the latest research advances in Pre-ACLF in terms of traditional clinical-laboratory parameters, high-throughput omics, and molecular biological mechanisms, and proposes the important clinical need for further unifying the definition of Pre-ACLF.
