Description
Summary:Liver failure is a common clinical syndrome of severe liver diseases, which belongs to one of the critical medical conditions. Immune response plays a leading role in the pathogenesis of liver failure. Lactic acid as a target for the treatment and prediction of liver failure has not attracted enough attention. Since the emergence of the concept of “histone lactation,” lactic acid has shown great promise in immune response and escape. Therefore, targeted lactic acid may be a reliable agent to solve immune and energy metabolism disorders in liver failure. Based on the relationship between lactic acid and immune response, the cross-talk between lactic acid metabolism, its compounds, and immune regulation and its significance in the diagnosis and treatment of liver failure were expounded in this article to provide new ideas for understanding and treating liver failure.
