Effects of Renal Replacement Therapy With Hemoadsoption in Patients With Sepsis

Hemoadsorption has been demonstrated to improve clinical and paraclinical results in critically ill patients with sepsis and septic shock. The present study investigates the effects of three consecutive sessions of hemoadsorption, performed in accordance to the local protocol for treating patients with sepsis, on organ failure, severity scores and 30-days mortality. Paraclinical results and severity scores were obtained before and after the three consecutive sessions.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with sepsis or septic shock who require hemoadsorption in accordance with local guidelines

Exclusion Criteria:

• unsigned informed consent
• duration of therapy under 12 hours
• death before the three consecutive sessions
