First seen May 04, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding a blood-filtering device called CytoSorb to standard care can help people with acute-on-chronic liver failure. The device aims to remove harmful substances like bilirubin and ammonia from the blood. Twenty adults with severe liver failure will receive the treatment for 72 hours, and their outcomes will be compared to a similar group that received only standard care.
