A Larger Membrane Area Increases Cytokine Removal in Polymethyl Methacrylate Hemofilters
Blood purification is performed to control cytokines in critically ill patients. The relationship between the clearance (CL) and the membrane area during adsorption is not clear. We hypothesized that the CL increases with the hydrophobic area when hydrophobic binding contributes to cytokine adsorpti...
