An evaluation of the usefulness of extracorporeal liver support techniques in patients with severe liver dysfunction

Introduction The mortality rate in patients with severe liver dysfunction with no option of transplantation is unacceptably high. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of applying extracorporeal liver support (ECLS) techniques in this group of patients. Material and methods Data...
