摘要: 慢加急性肝衰竭(ACLF)是在慢性肝病基础上出现的多器官衰竭综合征,短期病死率极高,其诊断标准在全球范围内尚未统一。影像学检查在ACLF的评估与预后预测中发挥重要作用,可以构成从形态、功能到血流动力学的多维度评估体系。计算机断层扫描可用于测量肝脏体积及诊断肌少症,提供关键的形态学与营养状态参数。磁共振成像特别是钆贝葡胺增强扫描,能实现肝功能定量评估,对预测短期生存率具有重要意义。超声及其弹性成像技术则通过无创测量肝脏硬度和血流动力学参数,实现早期预警ACLF发病和病程动态监测。本文系统综述了3种不同影像学检查在ACLF诊断及病情监测中的关键作用,有助于整合多种影像学优势,并可联合临床指标构建诊疗模型,可作为未来实现ACLF早期干预、改善临床结局的关键方向。

Abstract: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome of multiple organ failure on the basis of underlying chronic liver disease and has an extremely high short-term mortality rate, while there is still a lack of unified diagnostic criteria around the world. Radiology plays an important role in the evaluation and prognostic prediction of ACLF, constituting a multi-dimensional assessment system covering morphology, function, and hemodynamics. Computed tomography can be used for the measurement of liver volume and the diagnosis of sarcopenia by providing key morphological and nutritional parameters. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced MRI, enables quantitative assessment of liver function and has critical significance for predicting short-term survival rate. Ultrasonography and elastography techniques facilitate the early warning of ACLF onset and the dynamic monitoring of its progression through noninvasive measurement of liver stiffness and hemodynamic parameters. This article systematically reviews the pivotal role of these three imaging modalities in the diagnosis and monitoring of ACLF, and integrating the strengths of multiple imaging techniques with clinical indicators to construct diagnostic and prognostic models may become a key future direction for achieving early intervention and improving clinical outcomes in ACLF. -
