Abstract
Ever since Eiseman and his colleagues (Eiseman et al. 1965) introduced the concept of hepatic assistance by extracorporeal liver hemoperfusion, many investigators have been using this procedure for the treatment of patients with hepatic coma. Generally, livers of porcine and bovine origin were employed by most investigators. Because of the close genetic disparity between human and baboon livers, their extracorporeal function was prolonged and they exhibited less severe immunological complications (Abouna et al. 1973).
