By combination of continuous hemofiltration (CHF) with plasma exchange therapy we successfully treated a patient with subacute type fulminant hepatitis to keep her consciousness alert. The patient was a 55-year-old woman who admitted because of severe jaundice. On the 51st day after the onset she had consciousness disturbance and was transferred to our hospital. We started the therapy of CHF and plasma exchange at the patient's hepatic coma grade 4. On the 5th day her consciousness level recovered to grade 2 and we could keep the level for almost 2 weeks. This combination therapy seemed good not only for the improvement of consciousness of patients in hepatic coma but also to support the hepatic function of almost ahepatic patients.
