Pulmonary vascular clearance of harmful endogenous macromolecules in a porcine model of acute liver failure
Background. Pulmonary complications are common in acute liver failure (ALF). The role of the lungs in the uptake of harmful soluble endogenous macromolecules was evaluated in a porcine model of ALF induced by hepatic devascularization (n = 8) vs. controls (n = 8).
