One main reason is that many uremic toxins are not fully removed. This is especially true for protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) and inflammatory factors, which are insufficient to clear with diffusion or convection modality alone. Hemoadsorption combined with hemodialysis (HAHD) allows for the removal of a wider range of toxins, including middle to large molecules and PBUTs that are hard to pass the dialysis membrane. Moreover, HAHD can match different toxin properties and thereby improve overall clearance. Current studies show that HAHD can specifically increase the removal of PBUTs and inflammatory mediators. It may also reduce microinflammation in MHD patients. Some clinical evidence supports that HAHD can improve common symptoms in MHD patients, such as chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus, sleep disorders, and restless legs syndrome. In summary, HAHD is a reasonable blood purification modality to add on standard dialysis therapy and shows potential clinical benefits. When assessing the efficacy of HAHD, attention should be paid not only to changes in clinical factors but also to subjective experiences of patients. More studies are needed to define which patients benefit most and to confirm its effects on important outcomes such as hospitalization and survival. There is also a need for more high-quality clinical evidence to support the practice of HAHD and to achieve consensus on treatment standards and protocols.</p>","PeriodicalId":10725,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to nephrology","volume":"201 ","pages":"137-147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148929115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design should be optimized to enable utilization of all the sorbent surface available for adsorption. The structure and packing of the sorbent particles should allow the even distribution of flow inside the cartridge and the avoidance of channeling phenomena and excessive resistance to flow.

Maladaptive inflammatory burst damages host tissues and causes organ dysfunction, the burden of which has been demonstrated as the paramount predictor of worse clinical outcomes. In this setting, septic shock represents the most lethal complication of sepsis and implies profound alterations of both the cardiovascular system and cellular metabolism with consequent high mortality rate. Although an increasing amount of evidence attempts to characterize this clinical condition, the complexity of multiple interconnections between underlying pathophysiological pathways requires further investigations. Accordingly, most therapeutic interventions remain purely supportive and should be integrated in light of the continuous organ cross-talk, in order to match a patient's specific needs. In this context, different organ supports may be combined to replace multiple organ dysfunctions through the application of sequential extracorporeal therapy in sepsis (SETS). In this chapter, we provide an overview of sepsis-induced organ dysfunction, focusing on the pathophysiological pathways that are triggered by endotoxin. Based on the need to apply specific blood purification techniques in specific time windows with different targets, we suggest a sequence of extracorporeal therapies. Accordingly, we reported the hypothesis that sepsis-induced organ dysfunction may benefit the most from SETS. Finally, we point out basic principles of this innovative approach and describe a multifunctional platform that allows SETS, in order to make clinicians aware of this new therapeutic frontier for critically ill patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":10725,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to nephrology","volume":"200 ","pages":"149-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9957558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
