[Transplantation of isolated hepatocytes in hepatic failure]
Abstract
The authors review achievements in the field of prophylaxis and treatment of acute liver failure with donor's allo- and xenogenic isolated hepatocytes. Present-day clinical and experimental data on transplantation of hepatocytes evidence for their ability to produce a detoxicating action, to restore the lost functions of the affected part of the liver, to prevent death of hepatocytes caused by ischemia, to activate regeneration. This method is easy to conduct and obtained cells from one donor can by used for many recepients. Problems in transplantation of isolated hepatocytes are shown. Factors stimulating hepatocyte regeneration are mentioned with a special focus on hepatocyte growth factor having the most potent mitogenic effect.
