Extracorporeal albumin dialysis in critically ill patients with liver failure: Comparison of four different devices-A retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Besides standard medical therapy and critical care monitoring, extracorporeal liver support may provide a therapeutic option in patients with liver failure. However, little is known about detoxification capabilities, efficacy, and efficiency among different devices.

Methods

Retrospective single-center analysis of patients treated with extracorporeal albumin dialysis. Generalized Estimating Equations with robust variance estimator were used to account for repeated measurements of several cycles and devices per patient.

Results

Between 2015 and 2021 n = 341 cycles in n = 96 patients were eligible for evaluation, thereof n = 54 (15.8%) treatments with Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System, n = 64 (18.7%) with OpenAlbumin, n
