Study About Hepatic Toxins Kinetic and Evaluation of Organ Damage in Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) Patients

Sponsor: IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna

Summary

Spontaneous Observational Prospective Multicenter study of all patients admitted to Intensive Care with a diagnosis of Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) of grade ≥ 2 for which the use of the system will be authorized extracorporeal purification with DM CYTOSORB. The hypothesis underlying the study is to evaluate whether the modulation of bilirubin and other toxic molecules and mediators, obtainable through the use of systems extracorporeal purification (specifically DM CYTOSORB), may have an impacton the degree of organ failure in patients with ACLF. The study proposes the compilation of a structured and shared data collection with other Italian Intensive Care Centers which include patients suffering from ACLF (multicenter study) of clinical and laboratory parameters, which are part of normal clinical practice.
