flag The NHS is launching a £2.2 million trial of the Dialive device, a liver dialysis machine, to treat acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), a severe condition with high mortality. flag Starting in early 2026, 72 critically ill patients across 13 UK hospitals will receive the treatment, which filters toxins and replaces damaged proteins to support liver recovery. flag ACLF, often linked to obesity, alcohol, and hepatitis, has a 70% death rate within 28 days and few transplant options. flag Early studies showed Dialive reversed liver failure in more patients than standard care. flag The trial aims to confirm its effectiveness in real-world settings, potentially offering a breakthrough treatment and reducing reliance on transplants.
