About this study

The aims of this study are exploring the current situation of end-stage liver disease in China, and the optimization of diagnosis and treatment. Liver cirrhosis often accompanied by a series of complications. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis and its complications. End-stage liver disease mainly refers to the late stage of liver disease caused by various chronic liver damage. Its main feature is that liver function can not meet the physiological needs of human body. This study is a single-center, prospective and observational real-world study aimed at investigating and analyzing the current diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease in China.

Read the detailed description

The aims of this study are exploring the current situation of end-stage liver disease in China, and the optimization of diagnosis and treatment. Liver cirrhosis includes cirrhosis caused by hepatitis, alcoholic cirrhosis, non-alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis often accompanied by a series of complications, including portal hypertension and gastrointestinal bleeding, ascites and related infections, hepatorenal syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, portal vein thrombosis, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis and its complications, but there are still disputes about most of the complications in various editions of the guidelines. In order to formulate the best empirical treatment plan, it is indispensable to master the epidemiological situation of cirrhosis in different places. However, there is a lack of support from large clinical data from China. End-stage liver disease mainly refers to the late stage of liver disease caused by various chronic liver damage. Its main feature is that liver function can not meet the physiological needs of human body. It covers the final stages of various chronic liver diseases, mainly manifested as severe impairment and decompensation of liver function, including chronic and acute liver failure, acute decompensation of cirrhosis, chronic liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. The concept of end-stage liver disease was first put forward in the 1980s and has not been strictly defined yet. However, due to the complications of end-stage liver disease, such as infection related to liver failure and portal hypertension, septic shock, hepatic encephalopathy, and serious decline in quality of life, and the one-year survival rate of most patients is less than 90%, it is necessary to put forward this concept. Therefore, there is still a need for large sample data to define end-stage liver disease and formulate evidence-based treatment plans.

The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy, safety and economic benefits of different treatment options for patients with cirrhosis and complications and end-stage liver disease in the real world of China. To investigate the epidemiological rates of cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease, and to provide evidence-based medical evidence for the treatment and follow-up of cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease in China in the future.

This study is a single-center, prospective and observational real-world study aimed at investigating and analyzing the current diagnosis and treatment of end-stage liver disease in China, exploring the situation of end-stage liver disease in China, exploring the treatment options for patients with end-stage liver disease that can effectively improve their prognosis, and seeking high-quality evidence-based medical treatment for cirrhosis and reducing the mortality of end-stage liver disease.
