Contribution of gut microbiota and multiple organ failure in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 infection

COVID-19 can lead to gut barrier dysfunction, allowing LPS (endotoxin) to leak out from the gut into the blood, potentially causing sepsis and multiple organ failure.

Selective adsorption of endotoxin in the complex treatment of patients with severe sepsis

A session with Alteco LPS Adsorber caused a significant drop in the blood level of endotoxin and procalcitonin and it was accompanied by a trend toward better hemodynamics and lung gas exchange and alleviated organ dysfunction.
