Artificial liver is one of the effective methods to treat liver failure. Patients with liver failure are critically ill and have great individualized differences. Therefore, the specific program for the treatment of liver failure with artificial liver should be individualized. The commonly used non-biological artificial liver models include simple plasmapheresis, double filtration plasmapheresis, plasma filtration with dialysis, double plasma molecular adsorption system, molecular absorbent recirculating system, hemodiafiltration, continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration, hybrid, etc. The curative effect should be properly judged from patient's symptoms, laboratory test indicators, survival rate and other aspects after artificial liver therapy.
