Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure

Neutrophil extracellular traps
Brief summary
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) refers to the acute deterioration of liver function in patients with chronic liver disease. Neutrophils are a major component of the innate immune system, and previous studies have revealed enhanced production of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in ACLF. However, there is still a lack of systematic research on the correlation between NETs and the prognosis of ACLF. We screened NETs related biomarkers through bioinformatics analysis, which play an important role in the diagnosis of ACLF. This study will explore whether these NETs related biomarkers also play an important role in the prognosis of ACLF and further investigate their role in the pathogenesis of ACLF.
