Varun,
I see this came up before in another post and I missed it, see:
http://www.cholangiocarcinoma.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=3696
I see Marion asked me to help on this so I did a quick search on PUBMED (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) and found several articles, here are links to a couple of them that seem particularly interesting for cc patients:

Varun…..We have never seen this on the board however, you might want to put out the question to your Mom’s physician, as he/she would be the most qualified to supply a correct answer. I think of you often, Varun, and wish for your Mom to be comfortable and pain free.
Hugs and best wishes,
MarionI just stumbled upon ‘liver dialysis’ online.. There’s a device to perform certain functions of the liver, basically used for patients waiting for a liver transplant. It cant be used for months or years like kidney dialysis, that’s what it says online.. But then can we try for sometime..? It’s also available here in Bangalore, just saw online.. Can we try that and buy my mum some time for her liver to maybe recover..?
