Abstract
Introduction: Percutaneous isolated hepatic perfusion enables regional delivery of high-dose chemotherapy while limiting systemic exposure through extracorporeal drug removal. In current clinical practice, this is achieved by the use of activated charcoal-based filtration systems, which are limited by finite adsorption capacity and non-selective binding. Hemodialysis filters may provide a membrane-based alternative for extracorporeal drug elimination. This study compared the efficacy of both systems for cisplatin removal.
Methods: An isolated perfused porcine liver model was used. Livers were randomized into charcoal filtration, hemodialysis filtration, or control groups (n=5 per group). Cisplatin was administered into the hepatic circulation, and drug removal was performed according to group allocation. Cisplatin concentrations, liver injury markers, bile production, and blood cell counts were assessed.
Results: Hemodialysis filters achieved significantly greater cisplatin clearance compared with activated charcoal filters, with sustained differences over time. Liver injury markers and bile production did not differ between groups. Blood cell counts revealed no relevant treatment effects.
Conclusion: Hemodialysis filters improve cisplatin removal without affecting liver injury markers or blood cell counts in this experimental model.
期刊介绍:
''European Surgical Research'' features original clinical and experimental papers, condensed reviews of new knowledge relevant to surgical research, and short technical notes serving the information needs of investigators in various fields of operative medicine. Coverage includes surgery, surgical pathophysiology, drug usage, and new surgical techniques. Special consideration is given to information on the use of animal models, physiological and biological methods as well as biophysical measuring and recording systems. The journal is of particular value for workers interested in pathophysiologic concepts, new techniques and in how these can be introduced into clinical work or applied when critical decisions are made concerning the use of new procedures or drugs.
