Zusammenfassung: | Objectives: Meta analysis have concluded that Extracorporeal Albumin Detoxification (ECAD) using MARSTM provides a short term survival benefit. In order to further improve survival, the next generation of ECAD adsorbents, („HepalbinTM") was investigated in a clinical trial. Methods: Subjects with an indication for ECAD were randomized to receive either MARSTM first and HepalbinTM second or vice versa. Serum samples investigated for reduction of bilirubin, bile acids and improvement of albumin binding function. Clinical parameters, hepatocyte and granulocyte function were measured. Results: Total bilirubin was reduced from 360±165 to 285±131 umol/l by 21% by HepalbinTM and from 354±178 to 287±149 umol/l by 19% by MARSTM (p |
