| Core Tip |
Elimination of liver toxins during liver failure is a highly difficult and complex process and demands a combination of multiple methods. Although the evolution of artificial extracorporeal systems is remarkable, it is still insufficient to meet the current therapeutic demands. Several methods and circuits are available, each one with different features, advantages, and disadvantages. There is an urgent need for more research, randomized controlled trials, and evidence. Implementation of protocols combining the available techniques in response to each patient’s special needs is probably the key to personalized treatment, as bridging therapy either to recovery or to liver transplantation. |
