Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about clinical application of pathogenic metagenomic next-generation sequencing to optimize the diagnosis of infection in decompensated cirrhotic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. mNGS testing in optimizing anti-infective drug use in patients with acute decompensation, including response to empiric antibiotic therapy. 2. Proportion of patients with re-compensation. 3. The positive rate of mNGS in patients with acute decompensated cirrhosis and the characteristics of pathogen. 4. The incidence, risk factors and clinical correlation of CMV reactivation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years old. * Diagnosis of cirrhosis, previously known or not, of any etiology, histologically proven or not. * Acute decompensation: ascites, digestive hemorrhage or hepatic encephalopathy. Exclusion Criteria: * Age \> 80 years old. * Malignancy of liver or other organs (including leukemia). * Receiving immunosuppressive agents for non-hepatic diseases. * HIV infection.
