Abstract
The results of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sorption using selective LPS adsorber (Alteco) in 20 patients with gram-negative sepsis were investigated. From 2 to 6 hemoperfusion operations were performed. Concentrations of interleukins (IL): IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in serum before and after the procedure, and in washouts from sorbents were controlled. Decrease in LPS was accompanied by improvement or normalization of clinical and laboratory parameters, more pronounced in the group of survivors. High sorption capacity of LPS-adsorber and its efficiency in elimination of not only LPS but cytokine excess from the blood flow have been demonstrated.
