Xenogeneic liver perfusion In fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), the devel-opment of hepatic encephalopathy is associ-ated with grossly abnormal concentrations of plasma amino acids (PAA). Normalization of the ratio of branched-chain amino acids to aromatic amino acids (Fischer’s ratio) corre-lates with clinical improvement. This study evaluated changes in PAA metabolism dur-ing 4 h of isolated, normothermic extracor-poreal liver perfusion using a newly de-signed system containing human blood and a rhesus monkey liver. Bile and urea produc-tion were within the physiological range. Re-lease of the transaminases AST, ALT and LDH were minimal. The ratio of branched (valine, leucine, isoleucine) to aromatic (tyro-sine, phenylalanine) amino acids ...
