The presence of coagulopathy and the grade of hepatic coma are associated with a worsened prognosis. A 47 year-old woman with subacute type FHF was treated with a combination therapy of plasma exchange and hemodiafiltration, using a high-performance polymethyl metacrylate membrane. After this treatment, she regained consciousness and was stable in the lower hepatic coma grade for a long period (294 days). This survival period was longer than those of 340 patients with FHF who were treated with PE alone, and eventually died of FHF between 1983 and 1988 in Japan., 論文}, pages = {37--40}, title = {[症例報告]A case of subacute type of fulminant hepatic failure treatedwith plasma exchange and hemodiafiltration}, volume = {18}, year = {1998} }
