Abstract

Acute liver failure is a pediatric clinical critical disease with complex etiology,rapid progress and medical treatment,contributing to a high fatality rate. Artificial liver support system can remove a variety of toxic substances through mechanical,physicochemical or biological device to replace part of liver function like metabolism,detoxification,or synthesis temporarily to win precious time for liver cell regeneration and further clinical therapy,which has become an important treatment of acute liver failure at present. Considered the limita-tions of different blood purification mode,combined mode of blood purification is mostly applied in clinical ther-apy. This article aims to review the effect of plasma exchange combined with continuous veno-venous hemodial-ysis/filtration for the treatment of children with acute liver failure. Key words: Children; Acute live failure; Artificial liver support system; Plasma exchange; Continuous veno-venous hemodialysis/filtration
