hiHep bioartificial liver therapy: HiHep cell bioartificial liver treatment was performed 48-72 hours after extensive hepatectomy. Temporary hemodialysis tube for large vein (jugular vein or femoral vein) is indwelled before treatment. Before treatment, prepare hiHeps-BAL in a biological safety cabinet that meets clinical standards, connect the corresponding tubing to the Jianfan DX-10 blood purification machine, and prefill with heparin saline. Half an hour before treatment, the patient was pre-heparinized (heparin about 600iu) and dexamethasone to prevent allergic reactions. The patient enters the ICU, the monitor is connected to the corresponding pipeline, the arterial pump 120-160ml/min, the slurry pump 30-40ml/min, the circulating pump 75-100ml/min, the duration is 4-6h.
Study summary
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.
