ABSTRACT
Objective@#To compare the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange (PE) combined with double plasma absorption and simple PE in the treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure.@*Methods@#We retrospectively analyzed 251 cases of acute-on-chronic liver failure treated with artificial liver treatment since January 2015. Changes in clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and complications of the patients before and after different modes of treatment were compared and short-term efficacy was tracked. In accordance with different data, t-test, Pearson's chi-squared test and Fisher's exact test were used for statistical analysis.@*Results@#The effectiveness of low-volume PE combined with double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) and equal amount of PE combined with DPMAS was significantly better than simple PE (83.7%, 84.05% and 82.15 vs 55.6%, P < 0.05) in early stage of liver failure. In late-stage of liver failure, there was no significant difference in the treatment efficiency of each group (P > 0.05). Bilirubin and bile acid levels were significantly decreased in combined treatment groups than that to simple PE group (P < 0.05). PTA and albumin improvement rate of DPMAS PE groups were significantly lower than that of simple PE group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in adverse reactions between each group.@*Conclusion@#PE combined with DPMAS improves the treatment efficiency of early hepatic failure and decrease dosage of plasma when compared with simple PE. A beforehand DPMAS treatment after PE treatment can improve the adverse effects of DPMAS on blood coagulation function and albumin levels.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the curative effect and safety of reduced glutathione for injection(Atomolan) on the Alcoholic Liver Disease(ALD).METHODS:This was a randomized,placebo controlled study,in which the reduced glutathione for injection(Gluthion) was used as control substance.A total of 261 ALD patients were randomly divided into 2 groups in 1:1 ratio(trial group,n=135;control group,n=126).The dosage,route and course of treatment in two groups were the same.Clinical data including biochemical parameters,symptoms and signs in two groups were monitored.RESULTS:The excellent effective rate,effect rate and total effective rate in the trial group were 58.5%,23.7% and 82.2%,respectively,those in the control group were 57.9%,22.2% and 80.2%,respectively,showing no significant difference between the 2 groups(P=0.90).CONC-LUSION:The study showed that the domestic glutathione for injection had a sound efficacy in improving clinical symptoms and recovery of liver biochemical parameters,showing equivalent efficacy to the control preparation good safety.
