Abstract: Objective Liver failure (LF) is a serious syndrome with liver function, such as synthesis, detoxification, metabolism and biotransformation damages, caused by various factors. The causes of LF are diverse, the prognosis is extremely poor, and the mortality rate is extremely high. How to evaluate the severity of liver failure objectively and provide a timely and appropriate treatment plan for patients with LF is very important. The pathogenesis of LF is complicated, the disease progresses rapidly, and there are many factors affecting its prognosis. At present, the research on the prognosis has become a hot spot. In addition to the MELD score, CTP score, SOFA score, etc., many prognostic evaluation systems and new prognostic markers have been discovered. In this article, we provide a review of models and scores for prognostic evaluation of patients with LF.
