Extra-corporeal non-liver transplant therapies for acute liver failure: Focus on plasma exchange and continuous renal replacement therapy
AbstractThe acute inflammatory milieu in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) results in ‘toxic’ blood in these patients. In vitro experiments have shown that the plasma obtained from ALF patients is toxic to rabbit hepatocytes and inhibits regeneration of rat hepatocytes. Treatments such as plasma exchange and continuous renal replacement therapy to cleanse the blood have improved survival in ALF patients. In the liver microcirculation, the exchange of fluid across fenestrae in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) is vital for proper functioning of hepatocytes. Clogging of the liver filter bed by inflammatory...
