## Abstract This study was designed to determine optimal operating conditions of a bioartificial liver (BAL) based on mass transfer of representative hepatotoxins and mediators of immune damage. A microprocessorβcontrolled BAL was used to study mass transfer between patient and cell compartments se

Acute decompensation of chronically stable alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the most common cause of terminal liver failure in developed countries. Molecular adsorbent recirculation system (MARS) is increasingly used as artificial liver support to facilitate spontaneous organ recovery. However, the
