Summary:AutoascitR has been developed to treat the intractble ascites for these several years. By this device, cells and bacteria from the ascitic fluid are removed, and the sterilized, cell-free and concentrated ascitic fluid is reinfused into the blood stream. The device has been applied to more than 200 cases of the intractble ascities with satisfactory results. Some of these cases were accompanied by remarked jaundice. In such cases, a newly developed synthetic resin i. e. the sorbent to adsorbe the toxic substance joined to protein in hepatic support system, was succesfully utilized to remove, excess bilirubin from the ascitic fluid.
