Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare, potentially fatal complication of severe hepatic illness. It is
a syndrome that triggers a cascade of events, leading to multiple organ failures and often …

We report a case of a 26-year-old man with no significant medical history, who presented
with fatigue, pruritus, jaundice, dark urine and clay colored stool for one month. He had been …

In this work structural and sorption properties of granulated carbonic sorbents obtained by
deep pyrolysis of synthetic resins, are described. It has been shown that these sorbents …

Background. Activated carbon has been used extensively to detoxify extracorporeal
therapies. Low carbon capacity for high molecular weight and protein-bound compounds …

In this work, a new method, called the preconcentration method (PCM), is proposed to
increase the adsorption of protein‐bound toxins onto adsorbents in artificial liver support …

The molecular adsorbents recirculating system (MARS®) is a form of artificial liver support
that has the potential to remove substantial quantities of albumin-bound toxins that have …

Introduction. There is an increasing interest in recent developments in bioartificial and non-
bioartificial devices, so called extracorporeal liver assist devices, which are now used widely …

Introduction: The use of haemodialysis in treating poisoned patients was first reported by
Schreiner et al in 1955 in a patient with aspirin poisoning (1). Following this report …

In the course of severe pathological conditions, such as acute liver failure and sepsis, toxic
metabolites and mediators of inflammation are released into the patient's circulation. One …

This study investigated the cytotoxic potential of novel activated carbon adsorbents (MAST
Carbon International Ltd.) developed for medical applications such as extracorporeal …
