Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of endotoxins and the endotoxin mediated immune activation pathway in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. Also, to determine the effect of Liver assist (liver dialyses) intervention on these parameters in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis.
