Liver support systems based on either dialysis, filtration, and adsorption or plasmaperfusion over hepatocytes have been tested clinically with varying success. A new approach in this field is the selective removal of albumin-bound end products of metabolism. This can be achieved in a high-flux dialysis setting by the addition of human serum albumin as a molecular adsorbent to the dialysate with subsequent recirculation of the dialysate over sorbents (molecular adsorbent recirculating system…

Significant Decrease in Dialysate Albumin Concentration during Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (M.A.R.S.) Therapy
  • D. Gong, D. Ji, L. Li
  • Medicine, Biology
    The International journal of artificial organs
  • 2008
TLDR
There is a significant reduction in dialysate albumin concentration during MARS therapy, and Binding of albumin to the adsorbent columns used for albumin regeneration is largely responsible for this decrease.
Molecular adsorbent recirculating system: Albumin dialysis‐based extracorporeal liver assist device
  • D. Kapoor
  • Medicine, Engineering
    Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology
  • 2002
TLDR
Large multicentric trials on the use of the molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) are expected to throw light on some of the unresolved issues and help optimize the potential of this liver assist device.
Prometheus versus molecular adsorbents recirculating system: comparison of efficiency in two different liver detoxification devices.
TLDR
A significant decline in the serum level of water-soluble and protein-bound toxins was achieved with both devices, and PROM produces higher blood clearances for most toxins, which results in higher delivered treatment doses compared with a matching treatment with MARS.
Use of the molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS™) for the management of acute poisoning with or without liver failure
TLDR
Despite the lack of large multicentre randomized trials on the use of MARS™ in patients with acute liver failure, the literature shows clinical and biological benefit from this technique, and it is potentially a promising treatment for Patients with acute poisoning from drugs that have high protein-binding capacity and are metabolized by the liver.

TLDR
Molecular modification of the albumin domains through site-directed mutagenesis for strengthening toxin binding is a feasible approach for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of blood detoxification treatment.

TLDR
The data suggest that the rate and efficacy of removal of albumin-bound toxins is related to both the strength of the albumin binding and the saturation of the adsorption columns.

Dialysis against a recycled albumin solution enables the removal of albumin-bound toxins.
TLDR
This work presents an alternative method that enables the dialyzability of albumin-bound toxins from plasma by the use of a high-flux dialyzer and an albumin solution circulating on the dialysate side to increase selectively the affinity for albumin, which resulted in effective removal of unconjugated bilirubin.

TLDR
A new membrane separation system that is nearly impermeable to proteins but enables the exchange of water soluble and protein bound toxins by a special membrane and a recycled protein containing dialysate is described.

TLDR
The mechanisms of operation of this system are explained and in vitro tests that define its chemical efficiency are presented and potential problems, tests that indicate the severity of these problems, and monitors and algorithms to detect or avoid these problems in clinical use of the system are described.
Characteristics of an Albumin Dialysate Hemodiafiltration System for the Clearance of Unconjugated Bilirubin
TLDR
The clearance of unconjugated bilirubin is greatly enhanced with the use of albumin containing dialysates when compared to traditional crystalloid hemodiafiltration, is greater at lower pH, and seems to be unaffected by temperature.
