End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome with significantly increased mortality when the patients are complicated with infections. For patients with ESLD, infections can induce or aggravate the liver decompensation. In turn, infections are among the most common complication with the disease progression. Experts from Society of Infectious Diseases, Chinese Medical Association firstly formulated \"Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of End-Stage Liver Disease Complicated with Infection\" in July 2018, which is extensively revised based on clinical evidence of recent three years. This consensus summarizes the up-to-date knowledge and experiences across Chinese colleagues, intending to provide principles and wording procedures for clinicians to diagnose and treat ESLD patient complicated with infections.
终末期肝病（ESLD）发生和发展中，感染可以诱发或加重ESLD肝功能失代偿的发生，亦是ESLD发展过程中最易出现的并发症之一。ESLD合并感染的规范诊疗需求迫切，2018年7月,中华医学会感染病学分会制订了我国第一部《终末期肝病合并感染诊治专家共识》，基于2018年至今的循证医学数据及治疗方案，进行本次修订。本共识旨在指导并提高临床医务工作者对ESLD合并感染疾病的综合诊治能力。.

Malnutrition is common in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and is an independent risk factor for survival, therefore it should be treated as the same important guideline as ascites and hepatic encephalopathy. However, up to now, there is no clinical nutrition guideline for patients with ESLD in China. In order to standardize the nutrition treatment, Chinese Society of Hepatology (CSH) and Chinese Society of Gastroenterology (CSGE), Chinese Medical Association(CMA) co-organized and co-developed this guideline. Recommendations on nutritional screening and assessment as well as principles of intervention and management in patients with ESLD were provided to help clinicians make rational decisions on clinical malnutrition.
终末期肝病患者普遍存在营养不良。营养不良是影响终末期肝病患者生存率的独立危险因素。应作为和腹水、肝性脑病等同样重要的并发症进行诊治。但是迄今为止，我国尚无针对终末期肝病患者的临床营养指南。为了规范终末期肝病患者临床营养诊疗，中华医学会肝病学分会、中华医学会消化病学分会共同组织国内有关专家编写了《终末期肝病临床营养指南》。旨在帮助临床医生在终末期肝病患者临床营养不良和营养风险筛查、营养评定、营养支持治疗和随访管理作出合理决策。.
