The mortality of critically ill patients is persistently high and requires targeted therapy of pathophysiological disorders. One approach to optimize therapy is the use of the cytokine adsorber Cytosorb®, which has a CE certification for the indications hyperinflammation, rhabdomyolysis and liver failure and is therefore frequently used in patients with sepsis, polytrauma and acute liver failure. Although few clinical data describe the efficiency mostly retrospectively, there are no data on real-time elimination performance and saturation kinetics during the course of treatment. These questions should be answered by the present study.
