Clearance of Inflammatory Cytokines in Patients with Septic Acute Kidney Injury During Renal Replacement Therapy Using the EMiC2 Filter (Clic-AKI Study)
Abstract:BackgroundThe Ultraflux EMiC2 membrane is a high cutoff hemofilter (45 kiloDalton). Little is known regarding its efficacy in eliminating medium-sized cytokines in sepsis. This study aimed to explore the effects of continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD) using the EMiC2 filter on cytokine clearance.MethodsThis was a prospective observational study conducted in critically ill patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury requiring kidney replacement therapy. We measured concentrations of 12 cytokines [Interl… Show more
