Table 2 Clinical and laboratory outcomes of molecular adsorbent recirculating system therapy in trauma-associated acute liver dysfunction
| Ref. | Primary outcomes | Secondary outcomes | Adverse events |
| Ben-Abraham et al[3]; 2003 | Survival 100% (1/1), liver recovery (1/1) | Normalized intracranial pressure, improved bilirubin, ammonia, international normalized ratio, factor V | Not reported |
| Rittler et al[4]; 2004 | Mortality 100% (5/5) | Reduced bilirubin; no improvement in ammonia, coagulopathy | Bleeding, thrombocytopenia |
| Monet et al[14]; 2022 | Survival 40%, transplantation-free (acute liver failure, 13/32); variable by group | Improved bilirubin, prothrombin time, hepatic encephalopathy, pruritus | Thrombocytopenia (30.6%), hypotension, hypothermia |
| Powell et al[5]; 2024 | Survival 50% (4/8 trauma cases) | Improved aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, international normalized ratio, lactic acid; no change in ammonia; no improvement in hepatic encephalopathy | Not reported |
