Abstract
Sepsis is a critical condition affecting patients worldwide. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome in sepsis contributes to organ dysfunction and mortality. The oXiris is a recently developed continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) hemofilter indicated for the adsorption of cytokines from the bloodstream. In our study, in a septic child, CRRT with three filters, including the oXiris hemofilter, resulted in a downregulation of inflammatory biomarkers and a reduction of vasopressors. Herein, we described the first report of such usage in septic children.

[PMID: 36431196 PMCID: PMC9695587 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11226719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Critically ill patients with sepsis and severe COVID-19 are commonly characterized by a dysregulated immune response and an acute kidney injury. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is now proposed as a promising adjuvant therapy to treat these critically ill patients by removing cytokines, pathogen-associated molecular patterns, and damage-associated molecular patterns from the blood. Although multiple hemofilters, including high-cutoff membranes, the oXiris hemofilter, the CytoSorb hemoadsorption device, and the Toraymyxin hemoperfusion cartridge, have been used in current clinical practice, the use of the oXiris hemofilter in critically ill patients is of particular interest because it is the only kind of hemofilter that can provide renal replacement therapy, remove endotoxins, and adsorb cytokines simultaneously. During the past five years, a growing body of literature has shown that CRRT with the oXiris hemofilter can improve hemodynamics and organ function and can decrease cytokines and endotoxins in both septic and COVID-19 patients. Here, we performed a narrative review to describe the development history of the oXiris hemofilter and to discuss the therapeutic effect of oXiris-CRRT on critically ill patients by searching the PubMed, Web of Science, and clinicaltrials.gov databases for articles published from inception to 8 September 2022 (updated on 1 November) with an English language restriction. We also summarized the current knowledge on anticoagulation techniques and safety concerns when delivering oXiris-CRRT sessions.

Abstract
oXiris is a new, high-adsorption membrane filter in continuous hemofiltration adsorption to reduce the inflammatory response in sepsis. The investigators retrospectively reviewed patients with sepsis/septic shock who underwent at least one oXiris-treatment from November 2020 to March 2022. The demographic data, baseline levels before treatment, clinical datas, prognosis, and the occurrence of adverse events during treatment were recorded. 90 patients were enrolled in this study. The hemodynamic indices, sequential organ failure assessment score, lactate, inflammatory biomarkers levels were significantly improved at 12 h and 24 h after treatment. Procalcitonin and interleukin-6 reduction post-treatment of oXiris were most pronounced in infection from skin and soft tissue, urinary and abdominal cavity. Logistic regression analysis showed that pre-treatment sequential organ failure assessment score (p = 0.034), percentage decrease in sequential organ failure assessment score (p = 0.004), and age (p = 0.011) were independent risk factors for intensive care unit mortality. In conclusion, oXiris-continuous hemofiltration adsorption may improve hemodynamic indicators, reduce the use of vasoactive drugs, reduce lactate level and infection indicators. Of note, oXiris improve organ function in sepsis, which may result to higher survival rate.

Abstract
Background and Objective Sepsis/septic shock-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is associated with prolonged kidney recovery and extremely high mortality. Extracorporeal blood purification therapy for the removal of endotoxin and cytokines might benefit patients with S-AKI. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of adsorbing filter oXiris in the treatment of S-AKI. Design, Setting, Participants, and Measurements This was a retrospective observational study conducted from September 2017 to June 2020 in ICU. All patients received CRRT for ≥24 h. The primary outcomes were mortality. The secondary outcomes included cardiovascular SOFA score and vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS), the SOFA, the reduction of inflammatory mediators. Results A total of 136 septic shock patients with AKI were included. The interventional group (oXiris group; n = 70) received CRRT with endotoxic and cytokine adsorption function hemofilter (oXiris), while the control group (ST150 group; n = 66) was treated with the ST150 hemofilter. The early mortality in 7 and 14 days was significantly lower in oXiris group compared with ST150 group (7 days: 47.1 vs. 74.2%, P = 0.007; 14 days: 58.5 vs. 80.3%, P = 0.005), but the difference was not significant in 90-day mortality (71.4 vs. 81.8%, P = 0.160). Additionally, the reduction of the SOFA score in the oXiris group at 24, 48, and 72 h CRRT was significantly faster than that in the controlled group. Meanwhile, the reduction of VIS score in the oXiris group compared with the ST150 group at 24 and 48 h after the initiation of CRRT was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the decreases in procalcitonin were greater in the oXiris group than those in the ST150 group at 24, 48, and 72h after initiation of CRRT. Multivariate Cox regression model demonstrated that oXiris (vs. ST150) played a favorably important role in the prognosis of septic shock patients with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.500 (95% CI: 0.280–0.892; P = 019). Conclusion Although no difference was found in 90-day mortality, oXiris might reduce the short-term (<14-day) mortality compared with ST150 groups in septic shock with AKI. Further investigation in randomized controlled trials or high-quality prospective studies is warranted to validate the present findings.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ failure exacerbated by a maladaptive infection response from the host, and is one of the major causes of mortality in the intensive care unit. In recent decades, several extracorporeal blood purification techniques have been developed to manage sepsis by acting on both the infectious agents themselves and the host immune response. This research aims to summarize recent progress on extracorporeal blood purification technologies applied for sepsis, discuss unanswered questions on renal replacement therapy for septic patients, and present a decision-making strategy for practitioners.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has spread over many countries and regions since the end of 2019, becoming the most severe public health event at present. Most of the critical cases developed multiple organ dysfunction, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) may complicate the process of severe COVID-19 patients. This manuscript reviews the different aspects of blood purification in critically ill patients with AKI and increased inflammatory factors, and examines its potential role in severe COVID-19 treatment. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has been practiced in many sepsis patients with AKI. Still, the timing and dosing need further robust evidence. In addition to the traditional CRRT, the high-throughput membrane with adsorption function and cytokine adsorption column are two representatives of recently emerging novel membrane technologies. Their potential in removing inflammatory factors and other toxins prospects for the treatment of severe COVID-19.

Abstract
Background Systemic inflammation in COVID-19 often leads to multiple organ failure, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Renal replacement therapy (RRT) in combination with sequential extracorporeal blood purification therapies (EBP) might support renal function, attenuate systemic inflammation, and prevent or mitigate multiple organ dysfunctions in COVID-19. Aim Describe overtime variations of clinical and biochemical features of critically ill patients with COVID-19 treated with EBP with a hemodiafilter characterized by enhanced cytokine adsorption properties. Methods An observational prospective study assessing the outcome of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU (February to April 2020) treated with EBP according to local practice. Main endpoints included overtime variation of IL-6 and multiorgan function-scores, mortality, and occurrence of technical complications or adverse events. Results The study evaluated 37 patients. Median baseline IL-6 was 1230 pg/ml (IQR 895) and decreased overtime (p < 0.001 Kruskal-Wallis test) during the first 72 h of the treatment, with the most significant decrease in the first 24 h (p = 0.001). The reduction in serum IL-6 concentrations correlated with the improvement in organ function, as measured in the decrease of SOFA score (rho = 0.48, p = 0.0003). Median baseline SOFA was 13 (IQR 6) and decreased significantly overtime (p < 0.001 at Kruskal-Wallis test) during the first 72 h of the treatment, with the most significant decrease in the first 48 h (median 8 IQR 5, p = 0.001). Compared to the expected mortality rates, as calculated by APACHE IV, the mean observed rates were 8.3% lower after treatment. The best improvement in mortality rate was observed in patients receiving EBP early on during the ICU stay. Premature clotting (running < 24 h) occurred in patients (18.9% of total) which featured higher effluent dose (median 33.6 ml/kg/h, IQR 9) and higher filtration fraction (median 31%, IQR 7.4). No electrolyte disorders, catheter displacement, circuit disconnection, unexpected bleeding, air, or thromboembolisms due to venous cannulation of EBP were recorded during the treatment. In one case, infection of vascular access occurred during RRT, requiring replacement. Conclusions EBP with heparin-coated hemodiafilter featuring cytokine adsorption properties administered to patients with COVID-19 showed to be feasible and with no adverse events. During the treatment, patients experienced serum IL-6 level reduction, attenuation of systemic inflammation, multiorgan dysfunction improvement, and reduction in expected ICU mortality rate.

Abstract
Endotoxins and cytokines play an important role in multiple organ failure pathogenesis in patients with severe Gram-negative bacterial infection. We present a clinical case where an oXiris hemofilter was used for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) treatment in a patient with septic shock after liver transplantation. A 35-year-old man with a 20-year history of hepatitis B presented with jaundice, loss of appetite, and decreased urine output. He was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis with acute-on-chronic liver failure, and liver transplantation was indicated. The day after surgery, he developed hyperthermia, hypotension, anuria, and a progressive increase in blood inflammatory markers and creatinine. Combined with the donor source and blood culture results, septic shock after transplantation was considered. The patient was immediately treated with endotoxin and cytokine adsorption CRRT (oXiris hemofilter) with tigecycline, caspofungin, and ganciclovir as anti-infectives. After 48 hours on CRRT, his blood pressure gradually stabilized, the CLIF Consortium Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure score decreased from 63 to 43. Procalcitonin, endotoxin, and the inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 also decreased gradually. The patient's liver and kidney functions were completely restored. Our experience suggests that oXiris CRRT combined with antibacterial therapy is an effective treatment for septic shock after liver transplantation.

Abstract
Excessive pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines are mediators for haemodynamic alterations, metabolic acidosis, and multi-organ failure in sepsis. Recently, oXiris® haemofilter (Baxter, IL, USA) has been introduced as a novel haemofilter to mitigate inflammatory response during sepsis-associated acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy. In the present case series, the researchers retrospectively reviewed critically ill patients with septic shock with the use of at least one oXiris haemofilter during continuous renal replacement therapy between June 2015 and December 2017. The timing for oXiris initiation was at the nephrologists' discretion. The impact of oXiris haemofilter was evaluated on mean arterial pressure, vasopressor dosage, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, lactate and base excess during 72 h after treatment. Thirty-five patients were enrolled in the study. An improvement of haemodynamic status was found, shown by increased mean arterial pressure by 6.1% (p = 0.35), decreased norepinephrine dose by 45.9% (p = 0.02), inotropic score by 26.4% (p = 0.02) and vasopressor dependency index by 40.5% (p = 0.01). Cardiovascular Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores significantly decreased over 72 h (p = 0.02). Blood lactate levels and base excess also showed statistically significant improvements. The median filter lifetime was 23 (interquartile range = 14-36) hours. The intensive care unit mortality was 82.9%. Treatment with oXiris was safe and well-tolerated with no device-related adverse events. In conclusion, continuous renal replacement therapy with oXiris haemofilter is safe and may improve haemodynamic parameters in septic patients with severe renal dysfunction. Nonetheless, these findings were drawn from a retrospective analysis without a control group, and therefore cannot be generalised. Randomised controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Severe acute kidney injury (AKI), especially when caused or accompanied by sepsis, is associated with prolonged hospitalization, progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD), financial burden, and high mortality rate. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a predominant form of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to its accurate volume control, steady acid-base and electrolyte correction, and achievement of hemodynamic stability. This manuscript reviews the different aspects of CRRT prescription in critically ill patients with severe AKI, sepsis, and multiorgan failure in ICU. These include the choice of CRRT versus Intermittent and extended hemodialysis (HD), life of the filter/dialyzer including assessment of filtration fraction, anticoagulation including regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA), prescribed versus delivered CRRT dose, vascular access management, timing of initiation and termination of CRRT, and prescription in AKI/sepsis including adsorptive methods of removing endotoxins and cytokines.
