Effectiveness of the Cytokine Hemadsorption on the Clinical Progression and Mortality of Intensive Care Patients With Sepsis

In this prospective study, we aimed to compare the laboratory and clinical results of cytokine hemadsorption as an immunomodulation therapy in ICU patients diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock.

Inclusion Criteria:

• the patients were the available data of clinical and laboratory diagnosis of sepsis and septic shock
• detection of gram-negative bacterial agent in blood or sputum culture.
• patients who had the shock symptoms such as hypotension, tachycardia or fever during the course of sepsis.

• diagnosed with cardiac failure at stage 4 or renal failure at stage 4 or hepatic liver failure at stage 4
• cancer at the end stage or admitted with acute coronary syndrome.
