    "abstract": "The onset of decompensation in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) is a hallmark in natural history, with a poor prognosis and a significantly increased liver-related mortality. Etiological treatments for viral hepatitis or abstinence in cirrhosis due to alcohol abuse have demonstrated that some patients experience partial to complete clinical and analytical improvement, a stage termed \"recompensation.\" Although recompensation is primarily defined clinically based on treatable etiologies, it is still evolving for conditions like metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Despite the need for specific biomarkers in hepatic recompensation, no biomarkers have been thoroughly studied in this context. Biomarkers identified in compensated ACLD (cACLD) following etiological treatment might be explored for recompensation. Although the pathophysiology mechanisms underlying the hepatic recompensation remain unclear, understanding the mechanism involved in cirrhosis decompensation could help identify potential targets for recompensation. This review provides an update on the hepatic recompensation concept, examines the existing data on invasive and non-invasive biomarkers, mainly in cACLD after cure, that could be raised in recompensation, and explores future therapeutic targets for the hepatic recompensation process.",
