| Summary: | Liver failure is severe liver injury caused by various factors. This article summarizes currently used therapeutic methods for liver failure, and the universally acknowledged therapeutic methods include intensive care and supportive care, etiological treatment, regulation of immune function, prevention and treatment of various complications, supportive treatment with artificial liver, and liver transplantation. It is pointed out that the treatment of liver failure should focus on the multimodality therapy of internal medicine-artificial liver-liver transplantation, and that early diagnosis and treatment should be emphasized in clinical practice. The multimodality therapy should be developed according to the etiology, and complications should be actively prevented and treated. A multidisciplinary team should be established to develop individualized diagnosis and treatment regiments, so as to reduce the mortality rate and improve patients′ clinical outcome. |
