Area of Science:

  • Hepatology and Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering and Artificial Organ Development

Background:

  • Kidney failure has long been managed with artificial support, but liver failure treatment options remain limited.
  • Recent advancements have positioned artificial liver support systems as a promising therapeutic approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and assess current extracorporeal liver support (ELS) systems.
  • To identify and describe the most promising ELS modalities for liver failure management.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive review of existing artificial liver support technologies.
  • Categorization of systems including conventional dialysis, hemoperfusion, plasma exchange, and bioartificial livers.
  • Evaluation of systems like molecular readsorption recirculating system (MARS) and extracorporeal liver assist devices (ECLAD).

Main Results:

  • A diverse range of ELS technologies are available, each with unique mechanisms.
  • Systems vary in complexity, from basic dialysis to sophisticated bioartificial livers.
  • Promising modalities are emerging for acute and chronic liver failure management.

Conclusions:

  • Extracorporeal liver support systems are increasingly vital for managing liver failure.
  • These systems primarily serve as a bridge to liver transplantation or support native liver regeneration.
  • Continued development of ELS technologies holds significant therapeutic potential.
