[Advances in early warning and treatment of pre-hepatic failure].

Liver function of patients with pre-hepatic failure deteriorates rapidly, and with this there exists a risk of liver failure and high rates of mortality. This paper summarizes the concept of pre-hepatic failure, particularly the advances in early warning and treatment of pre-hepatic failure developing into hepatic failure, with a view to enhance clinicians' concerns to pre-hepatic failure for promoting the advancement of liver failure prevention and treatment, and improving the success rate of liver failure treatment.肝衰竭前期患者肝功能急剧恶化，存在发生肝衰竭的风险，病死率较高。现就肝衰竭前期概念，特别是肝衰竭前期发展为肝衰竭的预警研究及治疗进展进行综述，以期加强临床医师对肝衰竭前期的重视，促进肝衰竭防治关口前移，提高肝衰竭救治成功率。.
