Table 1. The Effects of Modified Ultrafiltration on Systemic Inflammation.

Author Key Results
Wang et al. ( 21 ) Essential reduction in IL-8 and endotelin-1 (ET-1) levels and no alteration in TNF-a level after MUF.
Bando et al. ( 5 ) ET-1 levels were extensively lesser after MUF.
Pearl et al. ( 22 ) MUF does not cause a significant change on thromboxane-B2, ETn-1 and leukotriene-B4 levels post-CPB.
Portela et al. ( 23 ) Essential reduction in levels of IL-6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 following MUF.
Yndgaard et al. ( 24 ) MUF lower circulatory endotoxins in circulation and recurrence of major amounts of this endotoxin load in the ultrafiltration.
Chew et al. ( 25 ) No intergroup variation visible for TNF-a, IL-1ß and IL-1ra, complements (C3d and C4d).
Huang et al. ( 19 ) Serum IL-6 levels were considerably lower after MUF, mild thromboxane-B2 was removed and ET-1 levels remained unchanged.
Harig et al. ( 26 ) MUF led to lesser platelet activation, monocyte shell markers CD45 and CD14 showed clear generations.
Yokoyama et al. ( 27 ) Removal of prostaglandin E-2 was one cause of augmented blood pressure.
Atkins et al. ( 12 ) MUF was associated with raised alveolar concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-8) and trans-pulmonary thromboxane meditations.
Papadopoulos et al. ( 28 ) MUF was associated with decrease of inflammatory factors, endotoxins and complements.
