    Journal: Transfus Apher Sci; 2009 Feb; 40(1):49-53. PubMed ID: 19103511.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to investigate whether PMMA-CHDF in the treatment of a patient with septic acute renal failure (septic ARF) is clinically relevant. Thirteen patients were treated with PMMA-CHDF. Thirteen patients were treated with PAN-CHDF. The urinary output significantly increased in PMMA-CHDF group following 24h of the treatment (p<0.05), whereas those did not improve in PAN-CHDF group. The 28-day survival was 84.6% in PMMA-CHDF group and 38.5% in PAN-CHDF group, respectively (p<0.05). We can assume that the cytokine modulation with PMMA-CHDF in the treatment of patients with septic ARF is clinically relevant.
