Abstract

In the 6 patients with hepatic coma hemoperfusions with 8 baboon and 2 human livers were carried out. Four awoke from the coma, one women could be discharged, but the others died of various complications and liver insufficiency. In the 4 patients with hepatic coma, 11 hemoperfusions with activated charcoal columns were performed. Two awoke from the coma, but they died of liver insufficiency. We were able to detect the elevation of preforming antibodies in a discharged patient.
