Abstract
A hybrid artificial liver(AFL) using monolayer cultured pig hepatocytes was evaluated in this paper. The module was constructed with 40 glass plates hepatocytes which were almost equivalent to 3.5-4.0g liver tissue in total. The glucose, urea and ammonia levels were 4.5 ug/hr/ Module, 22.0+4.2 ug/hr/Module, and constant for following 5 days. Hepatocytes in perfusion culture were almost maintained morphologically, for 5 days as well as in monolayer culture. These results indicate that our new AFL device using perfusion culture could support patients in hepatic failure.
