Abstract Introduction Patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure show an aggravated hyperdynamic circulation. We evaluated in a controlled manner potential changes in systemic haemodynamics induced by the molecular adsorbent recirculating system MARS and the Prometheus system liver detoxification devices in a group of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure. Methods Eighteen patients years old Child-Pugh score Maddrey score hepatic venous pressure gradient mmHg with biopsy-proven alcoholic cirrhosis and superimposed alcoholic hepatitis were either treated with standard medical therapy SMT .
