Extracorporeal liver support in severe alcoholic hepatitis

Figure 1 Changes in circulating levels of total bilirubin and plasma renin activity before and after each 7-h molecular adsorbent recirculating system session performed on 10 patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis (gray shaded bars). Ten days later there was a recovery of these levels although they were lower than before treatment (P = NS). ^aP < 0.05 vs before and after each molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) session.
