[The use of hemoperfusion through a suspension of cryopreserved hepatocytes in acute liver failure]. / Primenenie gemoperfuzii cherez vzves' kriokonservirovannykh gepatotsitov pri ostroi pechenochnoi nedostatochnosti.

ABSTRACT

The present work deals with results of intensive therapy and temporary organ substitution by using hemoperfusion through a suspension of living donor hepatocytes in 71 patients with acute hepatic insufficiency. Hemoperfusion was performed through a suspension of fresh living hepatocytes or through a suspension of cryo-conserved (during 60 days) living hepatocytes. Lethality was 37-42%.
