Vitamin D serum levels in multiorgan failure critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapies
2020
Introduction Severe vitamin D deficiency in critically ill patients is linked to mortality. There are no scientific data regarding vitamin D status in critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapies. Material and methods We aimed to measure vitamin D serum levels in critically ill patients with multi-organ failure undergoing continuous renal replacement therapies. Vitamin D serum measurements in 12-hour time intervals were performed in 20 patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapies through continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration (the study group). The results were then compared with the historical control group (20 patients without renal replacemen…
Parathyroid hormone serum concentration kinetic profile in critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapies: a prospective o…
2021
Introduction: Elevated serum parathormone (PTH) levels have been observed in acute kidney injury and are related to calcium-phosphate metabolism disturbance, decreased renal production of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3, impaired renal PTH excretion, and other renal-independent factors. There are no data regarding PTH concentration kinetics in critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT) in an intensive care setting. The primary objective of this study was to investigate trends in PTH serum levels in critically ill patients with multiorgan failure undergoing CRRT, by performing periodic PTH measurements in the acute phase of critical illness. Material and method…

Evaluation of the Oxiris Membrane in Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support: Study Protocol for a Single Center, Sin…
2021
Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is the rescue treatment proposed to patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. The VA-ECMO implantation promotes inflammation and ischemia-reperfusion injuries through the VA-ECMO flow, causing digestive mucosa barrier disrupture and inducing translocation of bacterial wall components—Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) with further inflammation and circulatory impairment. LPS is a well-studied surrogate indicator of bacterial translocation. Oxiris membrane is a promising and well-tolerated device that can specifically remove LPS. The main study aim is to compare the LPS elimination capacity of Oxiris membrane vs. a non-absorban…
