Clinical effects of adsorption of lipopolysaccharide in the treatment of Gram-negative severe sepsis
A statistically significant improvement in hemodynamics, oxygenation, and reduced markers of endotoxemia in group therapy with Alteco LPS Adsorber compared with traditional therapy. These effects were attributed with the removal of endotoxin from the systemic circulation. Only in one case using hemofiltration for acute renal failure in the study group (in the reference group in all patients), 28-day mortality was 16.7% and 66.7% respectively. Negative effects were negligible.
