Fulminant hepatic failure bridged to liver transplantation with molecular adsorbent recirculating system: a single center experience
Purpose: We herein describe the clinical course of a consecutive series of fulminant hepatic failure patients treated with molecular adsorbent recirculating system, a cell-free albumin dialysis technique. From November 2000 to September 2002, 7 adult patients age 22-61 (median 41), one male (14.2%), and 6 females (85.7%), affected by fulminant hepatic failure, underwent 7 courses (1 to 5 sessio...
متن کاملMolecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS).
INTRODUCTION Molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) for albumin liver dialysis has been used as a bridge to liver transplantation in patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). This review examines the available data on its clinical use, its technical aspects and present gaps in knowledge. METHODS Peer-reviewed journals and monographs on the subject were covered. RESULTS FHF is ...
متن کاملThe Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS®) in the intensive care unit: a rescue therapy for patients with hepatic failure
Treatment in the intensive care unit of patients with end-stage liver disease has been limited. Liver transplantation has been a major improvement in this and has become standard in the management of these patients. However, many patients die awaiting liver transplantation, mainly due to the scarcity of organ donors. Conventional hemodialysis techniques have little or no effect on liver detoxif...
متن کاملExtracorporeal detoxification using the molecular adsorbent recirculating system for critically ill patients with liver failure.
Liver failure resulting from different causes and its concomitant complications represent difficult-to-treat conditions with high mortality rates, despite improved therapeutic modalities in intensive care medicine. The accumulation of albumin-bound metabolites that are normally cleared by the liver, such as bilirubin and bile acids, contributes substantially to the development of multiorgan dys...
متن کاملAlbumin dialysis with molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy in liver failure.
Acute, acute-on-chronic and chronic liver diseases are major health issues worldwide, and most cases end with the need for liver transplantation. Up to 90% of the patients die waiting for an organ to be transplanted. Hepatic encephalopathy is a common neuropsychiatric syndrome that usually accompanies liver failure and impacts greatly on the quality of life. The molecular adsorbent recirculatin...
