Overview
It is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm cohort study. A total of 10 patients will be included in this study. Based on standardized treatment, the treatment of bioartificial liver device will be applied 48-72 hours after extensive hepatectomy. The bioartificial liver device consists of clinical-grade human-induced hepatocytes (hiHep) generated from human fibroblasts via transdifferentiation. In order to evaluate the security and effectiveness of the device, liver function, liver volume, the incidence of liver failure and other results will be analyzed.
Description
Include large-scale hepatectomy patients who meet the Inclusion criteria into the experimental group. Patient will be sent to ICU monitoring after surgery , the investigators will evaluate the blood routine, liver and kidney function, blood coagulation function, and immune inflammation indicators on the first day after surgery, and large veins will be temporarily indwelled within 48-72 hours Hemodialysis tube, then take artificial liver treatment which lasts 4-6h, follow-up test results on the 1st day, 3rd day, 7th day, 1 month and 3 months about blood routine, liver and kidney function, coagulation function, blood ammonia, Immune inflammation indicators, imaging examinations (CT or MR) at 7 days, 1 month and 3 months after treatment, to evaluate the recovery of liver function and liver regeneration after artificial liver treatment.
