Abstract:
An artificial liver support system (ALSS) is a body circulatory system aims to blood purification, which consists of plasma exchange, hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, in combination with hemodiafiltration. The clinical application of non-biological artificial liver, especially plasma exchange technology, can solve the problem such as hyperbilirubinemia, endotoxemia, toxic substance accumulation and disorder of amino acid metabolism, which would save patients’ lives. ALSS can significantly improve the general physical condition, reduce operative risk, as well as relieve physiologic derangement after liver transplantation. Therefore, artificial liver serves as a bridge for liver transplantation. This paper analyzes the characteristics of ALSS, explores the methods of ALSS application in perioperative period of liver transplantation, and discusses its developing orientation.
