Abstract Introduction Cytokines are believed to play an important role in acute-on-chronic liver failure ACLF . Extracorporeal liver support systems may exert beneficial effects in ACLF via removal of cytokines. At present two systems are commercially available the Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System MARS and Fractionated Plasma Separation Adsorption and Dialysis Prometheus . The aim of this study was to compare the effects of MARS and Prometheus treatments on serum
