Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Liver support systems, including dialysis and plasmaperfusion, have shown variable clinical success.
  • A novel approach involves selectively removing albumin-bound metabolites, crucial in liver dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on the albumin dialysis molecular adsorbent recirculating system (ADMAS).
  • To highlight ADMAS as a selective method for removing albumin-bound toxins.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a high-flux dialysis setting.
  • Adding human serum albumin to the dialysate as a molecular adsorbent.
  • Recirculating the dialysate over sorbents for toxin removal.

Main Results:
