Although liver transplantation is the only effective therapeutic modality for severe liver failure, the outcome of transplantation has not been satisfactory for severe cases. There is aneed for a bridge system to support patients until an organ becomes available. Recently, a combination of plasmapheresis and continuous hemoperfusion has proven to be somewhat effective to maintain patients until liver transplantation. But these mechanical devices do not fully compen- sate for the biochemical deficit, and it has become increasing clear that effective liver assistance will require a biologically active device. In this paper, artificial liver support systems were reviewed and discussed in terms of effectiveness for liver transplantation.
