Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS: The clinical symptoms (e.g. hepatic encephalopathy) and the laboratory indices (serum total bilirubin and prothrombin time) of the treatment group patients were obviously improved compared with those of the control group patients (P < 0.05). The cure rate and hospitalization days were 90.6% (26/32) and 47 days respectively in the treatment group, and 43.3% (13/30) and 72 days in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Using an artificial liver support system combined with routine medicinal therapy is more effective than using medication alone.
