Abstract:Background and aim
Liver failure, which is predominantly caused by hepatitis B (HBV) can be improved by an artificial liver support system (ALSS). This study investigated the phenotypic heterogeneity of immunocytes in patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) before and after ALSS therapy.
Methods
A total of 22 patients with HBV-ACLF who received ALSS therapy were included in the study. Patients with Grade I according to t… Show more
