Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Effects of high-volume hemofiltration on serum levels of tumor necrosis factor and its receptors in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndromes].
To investigate whether serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and its receptors can be removed by high-volume hemofiltration (HVHF) or continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH). ⋯ In MODS patients with ARF undergoing HVHF, the serum TNF-alpha concentrations dropped significantly, but the serum sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2 concentrations do not change significantly. Our study suggests that HVHF may be the better option for the treatment of MODS patients.
