Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of allogenic bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation in patients with liver failure caused by hepatitis B infection. The evaluation of the efficacy includes the level of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total bilirubin (TB),prothrombin time (PT), albumin (ALB), prealbumin(PA), liver histological improvement before and 1 week to 1 year after transplantation. Child-Pugh scores, MELD scores and clinical symptoms were also observed simultaneously.
Interventions
30ml allogenic bone marrow stem cells were infused to patients using interventional method via portal vein or hepatic artery as well as conserved therapy
Oral or intravenous administration
