Study Overview

Brief Summary

At present, there is no comparative study between the simple plasma exchange and plasma diafiltration (PDF), and no further exploration of optimal plasma dose in PDF treatment. Therefore, this prospective randomized cohort study aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of the tree groups(simple plasma exchange group, conventional PDF treatment group, less plasma PDF treatment group)by collecting SOFA score, 3-month survival rate, MELD score, and the times of artificial liver treatment , blood cell variables, cytokines(e.g. TNFα ), pre- and post-treatment plasma ammonia levels. Thus, it is to provide a safer and more effective artificial liver treatment with less plasma dose.

Arms & Interventions

simple plasma exchange group

Experimental

The mode is CVVH in CRRT machine, the treatment duration is 2h-3h, the application plasma volume is 40ml/Kg, the replacement fluid flow rate is 1000ml/h, the blood flow rate is 100-140 ml/min, and the ultrafiltration volume is 0ml/h.

Intervention: simple plasma exchange (Procedure)

conventional PDF treatment group

Active Comparator

The mode of conventional PDF treatment group is CVVHDF in CRRT machine, and the duration of treatment is 3 hours. the application plasma volume 1500 ml . The replacement fluid flow rate is 500 ml/h, the dialysate flow rate is 3000 ml/h, the blood flow rate is 100-140 ml/min, and the ultrafiltration volume is 0 ml/h.

Intervention: conventional PDF treatment group (Procedure)

less plasma PDF treatment group

Active Comparator

The mode of conventional PDF treatment group is also CVVHDF in CRRT machine, and the duration of treatment is 3h. All patients are required to apply plasma 1000ml. Use plasma substitutes: 300ml NS+200ml 5% albumin. The replacement fluid flow rate is 500 ml/h, the dialysate flow rate is 3000 ml/h, the blood flow rate is 100-140 ml/min, and the ultrafiltration volume is 0 ml/h.

Intervention: less plasma PDF treatment group (Procedure)
