“…In our country, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the main cause of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) [3], the mortality of which is as high as 62.18%–72.3% [4–6]. Other causes of ACLF include alcohol, drugs and toxic substances, and genetic metabolism.…”

“…However, sustained reduction in viral load by antiviral therapy correlates strongly with lower risk of disease progression, and improvements in liver histopathology and clinical features . Several clinical studies have reported that nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) can effectively suppress viral replication and reduce disease progression in patients with HBV‐related cirrhosis, and concluded that treatment with these agents can induce regression of cirrhosis and reduction/prevention of cirrhosis‐related complications …”
