Research progress on artificial liver support systems

Fan Chen, Donghui Zhou

Abstract

Artificial liver support system (ALSS), as a means of bridging patients with liver failure to transplantation, has been widely used at home and abroad. However, clinical trails show that different ALSS may have different therapeutic effects. This review briefly introduces the widely-used non-biological liver support technologies and extensively-studied biological liver support technologies, and tries to give an overview on their impact on biochemical markers and survival. Key words: Artificial liver; Liver failure; Bioartificial liver; Non-bioartificial liver
