A ‘potentially transformative’ clinical trial of liver dialysis has been completed successfully in the UK, it was announced today.

Researchers from UCL, the Royal Free Hospital, UCL spin-out Yaqrit and their collaborators say if a larger clinical trial proves successful, the DIALIVE device, invented by researchers at UCL’s Institute for Liver and Digestive Health, could be approved for clinical use within the next three years.
