Artificial liver support systems.
Though artificial support systems for kidney failure have been widely available for the past several decades, it is only recently that they have become a promising treatment modality for liver failure. The various liver support systems include conventional dialysis, charcoal hemoperfusion, high volume plasma exchange, liver dialysis using sorbent technology, molecular readsorption recirculating...
متن کاملArtificial liver support: potential to retard regeneration?
HYPOTHESIS The concept of an "artificial liver" has been in development for over 40 years. Such devices aim to temporarily assume metabolic and excretory functions of the liver, with removal of potentially hepatotoxic substances, thereby clinically stabilizing patients and preventing deterioration while awaiting transplantation. If sufficient numbers of viable hepatocytes remain, regeneration a...
متن کاملTrials and tribulations with artificial liver support.
This paper reviews the experience gained over the past few years in two techniques of liver support, charcoal haemoperfusion and polyacrylonitrile membrane haemodialysis. Problems with charcoal haemoperfusion have centred around platelet aggregation and hypertension, and new carbon preparations with a variety of different coatings to overcome these problems are described. Haemodialysis using th...
متن کاملLiver support systems.
In recent years liver transplantation was shown to be the only clinically effective method of treating acute or chronic hepatic failure due to various causes. However, this ultimate therapeutic approach is limited by the growing disparity between organ donation and the number of patients on the waiting list. Factors such as high cost, morbidity, and the need for lifelong immunosuppression accel...
متن کاملArtificial intelligence in radiology: decision support systems.
Computer-based systems that incorporate artificial intelligence techniques can help physicians make decisions about their patients' care. In radiology, systems have been developed to help physicians choose appropriate radiologic procedures and to formulate accurate diagnoses. These decision support systems use techniques such as rule-based reasoning, artificial neural networks, hypertext, Bayes...
