Use of dialysis in the treatment of renal failure in liver disease

Victor Parsons, S P Wilkinson, M J Weston
PMCID: PMC2496279  PMID: 1234334

Abstract

Early and thorough peritoneal and haemodialysis has a part to play in the management of selected patients with hepato-renal failure. Patients with advanced irreversible hepatic damage due to cirrhosis, however, may have their prognosis shortened by dialysis, but there are many problems in these techniques in patients with multiple organ failure which still require investigation and solution.
