Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of plasma exchange (PE) + double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) combined with night nutrition intervention in the elderly patients with liver failure. Methods A total of 72 elderly patients with liver failure treated in the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang from June 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into control group (n=36) and observation group (n=36) randomly. The patients in the control group were treated with PE+DPMAS on the basis of routine comprehensive medical treatment, and the observation group received night nutrition intervention additionally on the basis of the control group. The Child Pugh score, nutritional risk screening (NRS-2002)score and blood nutritional indexes were observed and compared between the two groups. Results The Child Pugh score, NRS-2002 score, serum levels of albumin, prealbumin and transferrin in the two groups were significantly improved 1 week and 1 month after intervention (P<0.05), and there were significant differences between the two groups 1 month after the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusions PE+DPMAS combined with night nutrition intervention has obvious therapeutic effect on the elderly patients with liver failure, which can reduce the risk of malnutrition and improve the liver reserve function of the patients.
