Background and objectives: The removal of cytokines by standard hemofiltration. is limited. Super high flux membranes may significantly improve removal even when used in dialysis mode. We sought to measure cytokine clearance using a large surface super high-flux membrane and a standard hemodialysis setting.Setting: ICU laboratory of a tertiary institution.Subjects: Six healthy volunteers.Methods: Blood form healthy volunteers was incubated for 4 hours with E. coli endotoxin to stimulate cytokine production. Cytokine containing blood was then circulated through a dialysis circuit at 3 different dialysate flow rates. Blood and dialysate were sampled for cytokine and albumin measurements and calculation of clearances.Results: Super high-flux dialysis achieved high median cytokine clearances (IL-1 clearance of 106 ml/min, IL-6 clearance of 66.8 ml/min, IL-8 clearance of 61.7 ml/min and TNF clearance of 36.1 ml/min). Increasing dialysate flow rate from 300 to 500 ml/min did not significantly increase cytokine clearances. Albumin clearances however were between 2.7 and 5.4 ml/min.Conclusions: Cytokine dialysis is feasible at high dialysate flow rates yielding high cytokine clearances. Albumin loss, however, is appreciable and may require separate supplementation in the clinical setting.
