Abstract
The use of extracorporeal blood purification has become an important therapeutic tool in tertiary hospitals due to the spectrum of clinical applications that go beyond the need for renal replacement therapy. In the emergency room, extracorporeal therapies can be used for the treatment of acute intoxications to remove the circulating toxins before they cause clinical signs or organ failure. In the intensive care unit, extracorporeal therapies are being used more frequently to manage immune-mediated disease that fails conventional treatment with immunosuppressive therapy.
