The open-loop albumin dialysis mode (OLM) is usually used to remove protein-bound toxins from artificial liver support systems. However, there is still interest in closed-loop albumin dialysis mode (CLM) because this mode could enable the regeneration and reuse of albumin and minimize the physical size of liver support systems. In this paper, the two dialysis modes were theoretically compared under various theoretical conditions. Our results show that at the beginning of the dialysis period, in terms of detoxification efficiency, CLM is better. As the molar ratio of toxin to albumin in the blood (RTA) decreases, the overall performance of CLM approaches that of OLM in 4-hour dialysis. In certain cases, the clearance of albumin-bound toxins by CLM could be as effective as that by OLM; occasionally, CLM is even more effective.

AbstractThere are different methods of artificial liver support for patients with acute liver dysfunction (ALD). However, CytoSorb (CS) might be a new approved option for those patients. Question of interest is whether the elimination performance of CS was comparable to that of advanced organ support (ADVOS). Patients, treated with CS (integrated into high-flux dialysis) or ADVOS and a total bilirubin > 10 mg/dl were included. Laboratory parameters were evaluated before starting therapy (d0) and 12–24 h thereafter (d1). The Wilcoxon-test with associated samples was used for statistical analysis. Thirty-nine patients (33 CS, 6 ADVOS) were included. The median bilirubin at d0 was 16.9 and 17.7 mg/dl and at d1 was 13.2 and 15.9 mg/dl, in the CS and ADVOS group, respectively. There was a significant bilirubin reduction as well in the CS group (p < 0.001, median relative reduction: 22.5%) as in the ADVOS group (p = 0.028, median relative reduction: 22.8%). There was no significant difference in the relative bilirubin reduction between CS and ADVOS therapies. The use of CytoSorb and ADVOS in patients with ALD led to a significant and comparable decrease in total bilirubin. The easy use of CS might be an advantage compared to other procedures.
