Life Threatening

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening disease associated with multi-organ failure and increased mortality. Severe inflammation is now considered the main pathophysiological mechanism for organ dysfunction, thus rebalancing pro- and anti- inflammatory cytokines may improve liver function and outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effects of a haemoadsorption column on biochemical parameters in patients with ALF. We prospectively included 28 patients with ALF who were treated with three consecutive sessions of continuous venovenous haemofiltration in combination with CytoSorb®. Our results show an improvement in liver functional tests and a decrease in Creactive protein. Thrombocytopenia remains one of the most important side effects of this treatment and careful consideration should be made before initiation of treatment.

Clinical And Pathological Features

Background: To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO. Patients and methods: A systematic review on case reports and the literature on so-called cannabis arteritis, TAO, and cardiovascular effects of cannabinoids was conducted. Results: Fifteen reports with 57 cases of an arteritis associated with the use of cannabis and two additional case series of TAO, in which some patients also used cannabis, were identified. Clinical and pathological features of cannabis-associated arteritis do not differ from TAO and the major risk factor of TAO, tobacco use, was present in most, if not in all of these cases. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of an arteritis by cannabis use are not substantiated. Conclusions: The hypothesis of cannabis being a causative factor or co-factor of TAO or an arteritis similar to TAO is not supported by the available evidence. The use of the term cannabis arteritis should be avoided until or unless more convincing scientific support is forthcoming.
