The need for an alternative treatment to orthotopic liver transplantation for acute liver failure is a major issue, and systems capable of temporarily providing liver functions are being actively tested. Liver assist devices based on detoxication by dialysis or hemoperfusion through various membrane
We have developed a bioartificial liver support system utilizing hollow-fiber bioreactor, plasmapheresis and microcarrier cell culture technologies. Liver cells were obtained through portal vein perfusion with ethylenediaminetetraacetate or ethylenediaminetetraacetate/collagenase. A mathematical mod
