Liver failure lifeline: study tests two Blood-Cleansing machines

NCT ID NCT02310542

Summary

This study compared two different blood-filtering systems used to support patients with severe liver failure. The goal was to see if a newer, simpler, and less expensive system (SPAD) works as well as the standard, more complex system (MARS) at removing toxins from the blood. Each of the 34 participants tried both systems to see which one was more effective at cleaning the blood and improving symptoms like brain fog.
