Effect of Modified Ultrafiltration on Cytokines and Hemoconcentration In Dogs Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Our results demonstrated that MUF can be applied in dogs undergoing CPB and is effective in achieving hemoconcentration. Moreover, MUF may be useful for the removal of cytokines. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and clarify the effects of inflammatory cytokines after CPB.
