Abstract
Acute hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is typically self-limiting and has a favourable prognosis. However, certain populations such as patients with pre-existing chronic liver disease may experience severe manifestations, including progression to acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Among viral hepatitis types, hepatitis A, E, and B are major causes of ACLF. Active screening and early diagnosis of HEV infection in patients with cirrhosis, especially those who develop ACLF, can improve management and enable timely antiviral therapy. Preventive measures, including HEV vaccination for high-risk groups, could reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with hepatitis E.
急性戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）感染通常具有自限性，预后良好。但是，某些人群，如已有慢性肝病的患者，可能会出现严重的表现，包括发展为急性-慢性肝功能衰竭（ACLF）。在各类病毒性肝炎中，甲型、戊型和乙型肝炎是导致急性慢性肝功能衰竭的主要原因。积极筛查和早期诊断肝硬化患者的 HEV 感染，尤其是出现 ACLF 的患者，可以改善管理并及时进行抗病毒治疗。预防措施，包括为高危人群接种戊型肝炎病毒疫苗，可以降低与戊型肝炎相关的发病率和死亡率。
期刊介绍：
Clinical and Molecular Hepatology is an internationally recognized, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published quarterly in English. Its mission is to disseminate cutting-edge knowledge, trends, and insights into hepatobiliary diseases, fostering an inclusive academic platform for robust debate and discussion among clinical practitioners, translational researchers, and basic scientists. With a multidisciplinary approach, the journal strives to enhance public health, particularly in the resource-limited Asia-Pacific region, which faces significant challenges such as high prevalence of B viral infection and hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, Clinical and Molecular Hepatology prioritizes epidemiological studies of hepatobiliary diseases across diverse regions including East Asia, North Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Southwest Asia, Pacific, Africa, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Central America, and South America.
The journal publishes a wide range of content, including original research papers, meta-analyses, letters to the editor, case reports, reviews, guidelines, editorials, and liver images and pathology, encompassing all facets of hepatology.
