Continues renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with disposable hemoperfusion cartridge: A promising option for severe COVID-19

Farzaneh Dastan et al. J Glob Antimicrob Resist. 2020 Jun.

Abstract

Cytokine release syndrome is prevalent in severe cases of COVID-19. In this syndrome, an uncontrolled response of immune system occurs. Extracorporeal blood purification has been proven to effectively remove the released inflammatory cytokines. Here, we reported a successful case to represent our experience of extracorporeal blood purification in a patient with severe COVID-19.

Keywords: Acute respiratory distress syndrome; COVID-19; Continues renal replacement therapy; Hemoperfusion.
