Pediatric Acute Liver Failure With Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System Treatment

Transplantation Proceedings, 2008
The prognosis of pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) has been significantly improved by emergency orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Since 2004, the molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) has been proposed as a bridging procedure. The aim of our study was to assess its efficacy in children with PALF.Since 1999 we performed treatment of ...
