Abstract

Liver failure is a common clinical syndrome of serious liver diseases with a high mortality rate. Artificial liver support system can significantly reduce the mortality rate of patients with liver failure and is widely used in clinical practice. Due to the shortage of blood resource, the increase in blood-borne diseases, increased demands for liver transplantation, and the change in treatment concepts, single non-biological artificial liver treatment is often unable to satisfy clinical needs, and it is urgent to develop new therapeutic paradigms of non-bioartificial liver. This article reviews the changes and perspectives of non-biological artificial liver in the treatment of liver failure.
