Objective To compare the effects of pulse high-volume hemofiltration (PHVHF) and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on severe acute panceatitis (SAP). Method From January 2005 to December 2009, a total of 38 patients with SAP were randomly(random number) divided into PHVHF group ( n = 18)and CVVH group ( n = 20). After hemofiltration for 72 hours, clinical symptoms, APACHE Ⅱ score, biochemical changes and mortality were observed. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 in plasma were assayed by using ELISA before and after treatment. The doses of dopamine used in shock patients were also observed. Measurement data were expressed in(-x) ± s, and t-test was used for comparison between two groups. Results In both groups ,symptoms were markedly improved after treatment. The APACHE Ⅱ score, serum amylase, creatinine, and white blood cell count were decreased ( P ＜ 0.05). Besides, hypoxemia and acidosis were corrected, and the PHVHF group was superior to the CVVH group especially in heart rate, breathing and APACHE Ⅱ score ( P ＜ 0. 05).The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 decreased in both groups ( P ＜ 0.05), and the PHVHF group was superior to the CVVH group ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The doses of dopamine used in shock patients also decreased in both groups ( P ＜0. 01 ), and they decreased more in PHVHF group than in CVVH group ( P ＜ 0.05). The mortality was 11.1%in PHVHF group and 25 % in CVVH group. Conclusions PHVHF is obviously superior to CVVH in the treatment of SAP, and can serve as an important adjuvant therapy for SAP, stabilizing the hemodynamics and reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory factors and mortality.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of complement and coagulation indicators in sepsis related acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:Clinical data of 217 patients with sepsis admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine and Intensive Care Unit of Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from January 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into sepsis with AKI group and without AKI group. Laboratory indicators of all patients were collected, including complement C 3, complement C 4, activated partial thrombin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), D-dimer, procalcitonin(PCT), etc. logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of sepsis related AKI. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of independent risk factors. Results:Among 217 patients, 120 patients developed sepsis related AKI and 97 patients didn′t. PCT, lactic acid, PT, APTT, INR and D-dimer in AKI patients were significantly higher than those without AKI ( P<0.01). Complement C 3 and complement C 4 were significantly lower in AKI group ( P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that blood pressure<90/60 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)( OR=3.705, 95% CI 1.536-8.934, P=0.004), increased lactic acid ( OR=1.479, 95% CI 1.089-2.008, P=0.012), decreased complement C 3 ( OR=0.027, 95% CI 0.005-0.152, P<0.001) and prolonged APTT ( OR=1.090, 95% CI 1.047-1.137, P<0.001)were independent risk factors predicting AKI. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of these multivariates were 0.741 (95% CI 0.675-0.807), 0.798 (95% CI 0.732-0.864), 0.712 (95% CI 0.643-0.781) and 0.716 (95% CI 0.648-0.783) respectively. The relevant sensitivity was 57.5%, 80.8%, 87.5%, 59.2%, and the specificity was 90.7%, 75.3%, 51.5%, 77.3%, respectively. The AUC of the combined four indicators was 0.880 (95 %CI 0.835-0.926) with the sensitivity 75.0% and the specificity 90.7%. Conclusion:The low level of complement C 3 and prolonged APTT predict sepsis related AKI, and the predictive value can be enhanced if hypotension and hyperlactacidemia are added.
