liver dialysis

Liver dialysis is a medical procedure used to remove toxins and waste products from the blood when the liver is unable to do so due to liver failure. It works similarly to kidney dialysis but targets substances processed by the liver, such as bilirubin and ammonia. Blood is drawn from the patient, cleaned through specialized filters that remove harmful substances, and then returned to the body. This process helps stabilize patients, buying time until the liver recovers or a transplant can be performed. Liver dialysis is a supportive therapy and not a permanent cure for liver failure.
