To retrospectively analyze the dual plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) treatment technology and the laboratory data before and after treatment in patients with liver failure and refractory hyperbilirubinemia, so as to provide a clinical basis for the prediction and prevention of common related complications. A retrospective study was conducted on 161 cases with liver failure and 68 cases with refractory hyperbilirubinemia who underwent DPMAS treatment in our department from October 2022 to July 2024. The general clinical data characteristics, DPMAS treatment status, DPMAS-related complications, and changes in important laboratory indicators before and after the initial DPMAS treatment in both patient groups were analyzed.

The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of L-AMB (Amphociene) on liver and lung tissues in adult mice, and the role of vitamin D3 in reducing its side effects. Amphotericin B (AMB), a polyene macrolide antibiotic, is used to treat serious fungal infections and leishmaniasis. It may cause increased serum aminotransferase and hyperbilirubinemia due to interference with hepatic cytochrome P450.
