Charcoal hemoperfusion was thrice applied in a patient with chronic hepatic dysfunction when he had been acutely exacerbated and showed hepatic encephalopathy. The patient regained normal mental condition within a few days every time after hemoperfusion. It is suggested that the indication of charcoal hemoperfusion is possibly extended onto chronic hepatic patients with encephalopathy.
