Acute removal of common sepsis mediators does not explain the effects of extracorporeal blood purification in experimental sepsis

Abstract: The effect of extracorporeal blood purification on clinical outcomes in sepsis is assumed to be related to modulation of plasma cytokine concentrations. To test this hypothesis directly, we treated rats that had a cecal ligation followed by puncture (a standard model of sepsis) with a modest dose of extracorporeal blood purification that did not result in acute changes in a panel of common cytokines associated with inflammation (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10). Pre- and immediate post-treatment levels of these … Show more

“…A more recent rat model of sepsis utilizing cecal ligation and puncture exposed experimental animals to 3 different amounts of hemoadsorption beads (0.75, 1.6, and 3 mg) and one sham treatment. Although the selected sample size was too small to compare survival benefits, rats in the treatment groups had trends indicating improved renal and hepatic function compared to the sham group [100,101].…”

“…First, they may decrease cytokine concentrations under a "toxic threshold" in order to limit the local deleterious effects of cytokines [5]. Other authors have hypothesized that because of a restored concentration gradient, the decrease in cytokine blood concentrations could promote leukocyte chemotaxis toward infected tissue where cytokine concentrations are higher [11]. Another target of the blood purification techniques is the inhibition of the immunoinflammatory cascade trigger.…”
