Abstract
In 22 acute liver failure patients, we have experienced that 64% of the patients with coma grade and 82% of the patients with coma grade were basic above 7.45 of arterial blood pH.
The patients in the basic condition were recovered from the illness in rase cases and were oftenly complicated with cerebral edema.
As temporary case system for compensation of basic condition, bicarbonate dialysis was useful, but buffer-free dialysis was more effctive for the pH control of the patients.
During bicarbonate or buffer-free dialysis, Their mental levels were not impaired, and therefore I think we must try the long-term dialysis for continuous control of their arterial blood pH levels.
