ABSTRACT
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the important causes of acute viral hepatitis worldwide, and its incidence rate is increasing year by year. HEV infection can lead to acute, subacute, or acute-on-chronic liver failure with a high mortality rate among some particular patient population, who are pregnant women, older, chronic liver diseases like chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis, or immunocompromised. The clinical characteristics of HEV infection, the pathogenesis of HEV-related liver failure, and the progress in diagnosis and treatment will be elaborated upon in this article from these three aspects in order to improve clinicians' ability to identify and prevent HEV-related liver failure and its clinical outcomes.
