Mechanisms and Prognostic Assessment Value of Thyroid Hormone in Liver Failure (IMAGE)
Caption
In ACLF patients, abnormal TH levels are usually manifested as NTIS, with T3 levels having prognostic significance by virtue of their close relationship with the severity, progression, and short-term prognosis of the disease. However, the existing treatment regimen for liver failure affords limited success, and prognostic assessment mainly relies on traditional scoring systems. Future research should prioritize improving the accuracy and thoroughness of prognostic evaluation in liver failure. To this end, the main goal would be to combine the TH profile (e.g., TSH, FT3, FT4) with a recognized scoring system (e.g., Chronic Liver Failure Consortium – Organ Failure, MELD) and thereby create an innovative and comprehensive scoring system. Such a system would identify high-risk patients in time and provide reliable evidence for clinical action.
