Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy
of artificial liver support system(ALSS) in the treat-
ment of the patients with severe hepatitis and give a
proposal for the indication of the therapy. Methods
In this study, 92 cases of severe hepatitis in ALSS
group underwent an ordinary synthetic treatment plus
the therapy of ALSS, and 103 cases in control one
got an ordinary synthetic treatment only. The sur-
vival rates and serum hepatic biochemical indexes
were observed and compared between the two
groups. Results The serum hepatic biochemical in-
dexes in ALSS group are improved obviously after the
treatment. The survival rate in ALSS group is higher
(71. 7% )than that in control(55. 3% ) (P 0. 05).
Conclusions ALSS is a effective therapy for severe
hepatitis. Some proposals were put forward for the
ALSS treatment.
