Article Synopsis
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of complications and death after liver transplantation, making effective prevention crucial.
- Current guidelines recommend antiviral prophylaxis and pre-emptive treatment, while CMV-IgG serology is the standard method for screening donors and recipients before transplantation.
- Ongoing studies are evaluating new antiviral treatments and immune functional tests, but a consensus on the best individual management strategies for CMV remains to be established, as high-risk patients still face a significant risk of developing the disease.
Objective: In this study, we aimed at evaluating the impact of HA330 hemoperfusion adsorbent application on inflammatory markers and end-organ damage markers in patients with sepsis/septic shock.
Patients And Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with sepsis/septic shock and treated with HA330 hemoperfusion adsorbent in addition to the standard treatment were included in this retrospective study conducted at Inonu University Turgut Ozal Medical Center between January 1, 2019 and January 1, 2021.
Results: A total of 150 patients were included in the study.
