Not Applicable
Conditions
Renal Insufficiency or Renal Failure &or End-stage Renal Disease
Registration Number
NCT02588794
Lead Sponsor
Technical University of Munich
Brief Summary

Aim of the study is to reduce the incidence of RIFLE stadium L and E after acute kidney injury in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock

Detailed Description

Patient with proved severe sepsis/septic shock, treated in accordance to actual sepsis guidelines, who develope akute kidney injury (RIFLE I) or kidney failure (RIFLE F), were randomized in two groups.

One group is treated with CVVHD/ local citrat anticoagulation (standart clinical practice).

The other group ist treated with an additional cytokine adsorber ( 300ml CytoSorb device, 3804606CE01)

CytoSorb therapy is performed for 24h, then the adsorber is changed into a new device.

Cytosorb therapy is stopped, when Interleukin 6 leves drop below 1000 pg/ml in patient serum.
