Abstract
Objective. This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of plasma exchange in treating acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) through meta-analysis. Method. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases were searched using a computer for all relevant Chinese and English literature from 2000 to 2021 in each database. At the same time, a large number of related papers and materials were manually consulted. Randomized controlled trials of plasma exchange (PE, control group) and combined double plasma molecular absorption system (DPMAS + PE, observation group) for the treatment of ACLF were collected. Meta-analysis was performed with Stata16.0 software. Result. A total of 474 articles were retrieved, and 11 papers were finally included for research after screening. Meta-analysis results showed that the effective rate of treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group. At the same time, the observation group’s prothrombin activity (PTA) level was better than that of the control group after treatment. After treatment, there was no significant difference in prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR) between the two groups. In addition, after treatment, the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group. However, TBIL levels and albumin (ALB) levels did not change significantly between the two groups. Regarding blood routine indexes, there were no significant changes in creatinine (Cr) levels and platelet counts (PLT) in the two groups after treatment, but hemoglobin (HGB) levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusion. DPMAS combined with plasma exchange therapy can improve liver function, coagulation function, and blood routine level of ACLF patients and increase the effective rate of treatment. It is an effective treatment for acute-on-chronic liver failure.
