    BackgroundAcute chronic liver failure (ACLF) is the most common type of liver failure. The clinical symptoms are complex and changeable, the treatment is difficult and the fatality rate is high. It has become an urgent problem to actively seek effective treatment means and improve the clinical efficacy of ACLF patients. Studies have shown that decreased intestinal barrier function and bacterial endotoxin translocation in ACLF patients are considered to be the key causes of enterogenic endotoxemia, and traditional Chinese medicine enema has certain advantages in adjuvant treatment of this disease. However, due to the lack of evidence, there is no specific method or suggestion, so it is necessary to carry out systematic evaluation on Traditional Chinese medicine enema for ACLF and provide effective evidence for further research.MethodsWe will search the following electronic databases from their inception to July 2020: Electronic database includes PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Database WangFang, VIP medicine information, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Primary outcomes: survival rates, TCM syndrome score.Secondary Outcomesliver function (alanine aminotransferase, aspartic acid amino transferase, total bilirubin), blood coagulation function (prothrombin activity), adverse events. Data will be extracted by 2 researchers independently, risk of bias of the meta-analysis will be evaluated based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. All data analysis will be conducted by data statistics software Review Manager V.5.3. and Stata V.12.0.ResultsThe results of this study will systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Traditional Chinese medicine enema for ACLF.ConclusionThe systematic review of this study will summarize the currently published evidence of Traditional Chinese medicine enema for ACLF to further guide its promotion and application.
