title: Dynamics of elimination of bacterial endotoxins and cytokines from the blood of tumor patients with sepsis in hemoperfusion using carbon adsorbents.
abstract: We studied the effects of carbon adsorbent hemoperfusion on the dynamics of LPS and cytokine concentrations in the blood of cancer patients with sepsis and septic shock. In addition, hemadsorbent washout fluid specimens after hemoperfusion were analyzed. A significant (3-fold) reduction of blood LPS levels after hemoperfusion was found, while shifts in free cytokine levels in the sera were negligible. At the same time, hemadsorbents used in the study effectively eliminated some free cytokines (IL-6, -8, -12, IFN-γ, TNF-α) from the blood.
