Therapeutic plasma exchange versus double plasma molecular absorption system in hepatitis B virus-infected acute-on-chronic liver failure treated by entercavir: A prospective study

Background Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and double plasma molecular absorption system (DPMAS) were two extracorporeal liver support systems. Few studies compared their efficacy profile. Objective This study was to compare the efficacy of TPE and DPMAS on acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV‐ACLF).
