title: [The assessment of albumin liver dialysis--MARS efficacy in the treatment of Amanita phalloides poisoning].
abstract: Fourteen patients were included to the albumin dialysis--MARS in the Clinic of Internal Medicine Geriatry and Clinical Toxicology in the years 2004-2006 because of acute intoxication with Amanita phalloides. The 26 procedures were done. Ten patients recovered, one was transplanted and three patients at the age from 68 to 79 (average 72.6) years died because of acute liver failure (21.4% cases). All deceased patients had significant higher plasma bilirubin level and INR in compare to other probants. The procedures of albumin dialysis caused significant lowering of blood glucose level, red blood cells and platelets, but without the need for intervention.
