Study of a blood filter for sudden liver failure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called CytoSorb that filters the blood to reduce inflammation in patients with sudden worsening of chronic liver disease. It may help support organ function and recovery.
