Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to improve the survival rate of those patients with acute fulminant hepatitis through treatment with the MARS® extra-corporal liver-purification system by:

1. Reducing the number of patients who die before a graft is available

2. Increasing the chances of survival without a liver transplant

3. Reducing the pre- and post-operative mortality in transplant patients


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with fulminant or subfulminant hepatitis with either an indication or a relative contraindication to a liver transplantation, are randomized to two groups:

1. A group treated with the conventional medical intensive treatment (including the hemodialysis techniques, continuous veno-venous hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration, if necessary) and the gold standard surgical treatment (liver transplantation) compared to

2. A group receiving, in addition to the conventional medical intensive treatment, albumin dialysis using the MARS device and the gold standard surgical treatment (liver transplantation). ;
