Abstract

With the increase in patients with liver failure,the artificial liver support system is facing great opportunities and challenges.Although artificial liver has achieved remarkable results in the treatment of patients with liver failure,non-bioartificial liver techniques commonly used in China,mainly plasma exchange,are facing the issue of limited plasma supply.This article focuses on plasma exchange and discusses how to deal with the shortage of plasma in non-bioartificial liver treatment from various aspects,in order to provide a reference for clinical physicians.
