[Influencing factors of severe liver disease complicated with toxic shock].

Patients with severe liver disease are prone to bacterial and fungal infections, and then develop toxic shock. The onset of the disease may be insidious, but the disease progresses rapidly with a high fatality rate. Current research results show that special conditions such as translocation of intestinal flora and immune paralysis in patients with severe liver disease are susceptible factors for infection and toxic shock. Furthermore, it is currently recognized that the treatment of severe liver disease complicated with toxic shock must be treated with antibiotics and maintenance of hemodynamic stability. Other treatments, such as hydrocortisone and strict glycemic control, are quite controversial and may not necessarily reduce mortality. Herein, we summarize the epidemiology, susceptibility factors; diagnosis and management strategies of severe liver disease complicated with toxic shock, highlighting the characteristics of toxic shock under the background of severe liver disease, so as to detect, prevent and treat septic shock in patients with severe liver disease as early as possible to reduce the fatality rate.
