Improvement of monocyte function and immune homeostasis by high volume continuous venovenous hemofiltration in patients with severe acute pancreatitis

Abstract

In patients with SAP, HV-CVVH was associated with improved hemodynamics. HV-CVVH restores monocytes functions, especially in patients in the early phase of the disease and without sepsis. These findings suggest a potential role for HV-CVVH in the treatment of SAP.
