[Comments on the current treatment of fulminant liver failure]
Abstract:
The current treatment of fulminant liver failure, underscoring substitutive liver therapy, is reviewed. The usefulness of hemodialysis and hemofiltration with a high-permeability membrane, hemoperfusion with activated carbon, hemoperfusion with resins, plasma exchange, artificial cells and the combination of various techniques for the same patients has been studied. Finally, the indications for utility of these techniques and the role of liver transplantation are considered. Early onset of treatment is essential for achieving satisfactory results.
