  • Title: [The magneto-laser effect on liver functions in the complex treatment of hepatorenal failure].
    Author: Shimanko II, Limarev VM.
    Journal: Anesteziol Reanimatol; 1993; (5):49-51. PubMed ID: 8116903.
    Abstract:
    Complex therapy of acute hepatorenal failure included magnetic field and laser applied to hepatic area and blood extracorporeally. In 26 patients magnetic field and laser were applied to the hepatic area. When compared to a control group of 30 patients a more prompt decrease in blood bilirubin was noted, alongside with a drop in blood fibrinogen, which enhanced a threat of profuse bleeding. There was no decrease in blood fibrinogen or an accelerated drop in bilirubin during extracorporeal application of the technique in 23 patients, as compared to a control group of 20 patients. As the technique has different effects on the liver it should be used with care and only when clinically indicated in patients with acute hepatorenal failure.
