From: Effect of extracorporeal liver support by MARS and Prometheus on serum cytokines in acute-on-chronic liver failure

Figure 1

Influence of six hour treatments with MARS™ or Prometheus™ on serum cytokine levels. Levels of individual cytokines are shown at the beginning of, the end of, and 60 minutes after treatments with MARS (open circles, dashed lines) or Prometheus (filled circles, unbroken lines). Values are expressed as median (Q1; Q3). Shaded areas indicate normal range. Cytokine levels did not change significantly during treatments with MARS or Prometheus. IL, interleukin; MARS, molecular adsorbent recirculating system; sTNF-αR1, soluble tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor 1; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
