“…A pesar de esto, el análisis de los biomarcadores de química clínica en los hámsteres mostró un aumento en los niveles séricos de proteína C reactiva. Esta proteína es sintetizada en el hígado en respuesta a procesos infecciosos, inflamatorios y de injuria tisular, y participa en procesos de inmunomodulación, como la amplificación del complemento, la 'opsonización' de bacterias y la estimulación de células fagocíticas (33,34).…”

“…Este hallazgo sugiere que la modulación de la respuesta inmunitaria está determinando la presentación de signos clínicos y, por consiguiente, la evolución final de la enfermedad (20,31,33).…”

“…Hence, there is a pathophysiological reason for therapeutic plasma exchange in order to extract the excess of bacterial products and inflammatory mediators [1, 5]. Using the same rationale, some have reported success dialysis with albumin-molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS), in case of acute liver failure due to leptospirosis [6]. …”
