Abstract
INTRODUCTION The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of hemoadsorption on the elimination of inflammatory mediators. METHODS A prospective, bicenter, observational cohort study was conducted between March 2020 and February 2022 to explore the immunomodulatory response, demographic and clinical characteristics of individuals with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU with severe acute respiratory failure and in need of CRRT with Oxiris® with or without AKI. RESULTS Sixty-four patients were analyzed. Statistically significant differences were observed between exposed and unexposed groups, in relation to the reduction in D-dimer levels -15,614 (24,848.9) versus -4,136.5 (9,913.47) (p 0.031, d: 1.59, 95% CI: -21,830, -1,126). An increase in PCT was observed 0.47 (2.08) versus -0.75 (2.3) (p 0.044 95% CI: 0.03, 2.44). No differences were found in a decrease in CRP -4.21 (7.29) versus -1.6 (9.02) (p 0.22) nor in the rest of inflammatory parameters fibrinogen, IL-6, ferritin, lymphocytes, and neutrophils. Subgroup analysis in patients exposed to therapy also showed a significant decrease in D-dimer of 55% from baseline: 6,000 (1,984.5-27,750) pre-therapy versus 2,700 (2,119.5-6,145) (95% CI: -23,000, -2,489) post-therapy with a strong effect size (p 0.001, d: 0.65). CONCLUSION The hemoadsorptive therapy in COVID-19 was associated with a significant decrease in D-dimer parameters without showing decreases in the rest of the clinical, inflammatory parameters and severity scales analyzed.

Abstract
In late 2019, a novel betacoronavirus, later termed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was discovered in patients with an unknown respiratory illness in Wuhan, China. SARS-CoV-2 and the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), spread rapidly and resulted in the World Health Organization declaring a pandemic in March 2020. In a minority of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, severe illness develops characterized by a dysregulated immune response, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and multisystem organ failure. Despite the development of antiviral and multiple immunomodulatory therapies, outcomes of severe illness remain poor. In response, the Food and Drug Administration in the United States authorized the emergency use of several extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) devices for critically ill patients with COVID-19. Extracorporeal blood purification devices target various aspects of the host response to infection to reduce immune dysregulation. This review highlights the underlying technology, currently available literature on use in critically ill COVID-19 patients, and future studies involving four EBP platforms: 1) oXiris filter, 2) CytoSorb filter, 3) Seraph 100 Microbind blood affinity filter, and 4) the Spectra Optia Apheresis System with the Depuro D2000 Adsorption Cartridge.

Abstract
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been associated with an increased mortality rate among hospitalized patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The current review aimed to evaluate the symptoms, complications, and treatments performed to manage AKI in patients with COVID-19. Methods We searched PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Embase for the relevant scientific literature published up to February 1, 2022. The following keywords were used: “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2”, and “Acute kidney injury”. Results Forty-four studies with a total number of 114 COVID-19 patients with AKI (Mean age: 53.6 years) were included in our systematic review. The most common comorbidities in patients with COVID-19 suffering from AKI were the history of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Twelve out of the 44 included studies reported a history of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this group of patients. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) were the most common pathological evidence. The average length of hospital stay was 19 days, and the average duration of need for mechanical ventilation was 3 days. Conclusions The current systematic review shows that AKI frequently complicates the course of COVID-19 hospitalizations and is associated with increased severity of illness, prolonged duration of hospitalization, and poor prognosis. Given the extent of the adverse impact of AKI, early detection of comorbidities and renal complications is essential to improve the outcomes of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
The use of hemadsorption has been purposed to reduce cytokine levels during the reperfusion phase during donation after circulatory death (DCD) programs. This paper aims to describe a cases series of the inflammatory cytokine levels before and after hemadsorption during normothermic reperfusion in DCD donors of liver and kidneys. In this observational pilot paper, we describe 8 DCD donors of liver or kidneys in our center from the year 2018 to 2019. All DCD donor subjects had similar age, were younger than 60 years, without evident critical conditions, no liver or kidney dysfunction known, and they presented with poor neurological outcomes instrumentally and clinically documented. We observed in our patients an interesting reduction of IL-10 and TNF-α levels during the normothermic reperfusion with hemadsorption. We transplanted all livers and kidneys from DCD donors without significant compliances.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Severe cases of the COVID-19 are often associated with the development of a fulminant sepsis-like state with a concomitant cytokine release syndrome. Recently, immunomodulating approaches to treat such a hyperinflammation have come into focus, including the use of new extracorporeal organ support therapies such as CytoSorb hemoadsorption designed to remove cytokines and other circulating mediators from blood. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirteen critically ill COVID-19 patients with ARDS who received either ECMO therapy and/or CRRT with concomitant multiple organ failure were included. Hemoadsorption therapy was initiated once the patient had established-or was at high risk of developing-a hyperinflammatory state with marked hemodynamic instability or progressive lung failure. Levels of inflammatory markers, vasopressor requirements, oxygenation, and ventilation parameters were measured, as well as clinically relevant outcome measures. RESULTS Combined therapy was associated with a significant reduction in inflammatory mediators, hemodynamic stabilization with a concomitant decrease in requirements for vasoactive substances, and a pronounced improvement in lung function and the need for ventilatory support. Treatment appeared safe and well-tolerated. CONCLUSIONS In this case series of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients admitted to the intensive care unit with ARDS, we report effective interleukin (IL)-6 removal, reduced norepinephrine requirement, and improved lung function while receiving adjuvant, extracorporeal hemoadsorption therapy in the context of a multimodal treatment approach. The presented protocol for CytoSorb initiation may be a good foundation for the development of further prospective studies in the field and may eventually also be applied to other forms of hyperinflammatory ARDS.
