To the Editor:In sepsis,bacterial endotoxins play a central role by inducing a dysregulated and exaggerated release of inflammatory mediators and cytokines,often described as the“cytokine storm”or“cytokinemia.”[1]Both endotoxins and cytokines have been implicated in the development of organ dysfunction,including acute kidney injury(AKI).[2]Removing circulating endotoxins and excess cytokines from the circulation restores chemotactic gradients,localizing the immune response to the principal site of infection and re-establishing a regulated immune response.[1,3]Therefore,using hemofilters with enhanced endotoxin and cytokine adsorptive properties may bring about additional therapeutic benefits compared with conventional continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)filters.
