Continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (HF) with high permeability (HP) haemofilters is a novel approach in the adjuvant therapy of septic patients. HP haemofilters are characterized by an increased pore size which facilitates the filtration of inflammatory mediators. The present study examines whether HP-HF has an impact on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation and whether ultrafiltrate can alter PBMC function in isolates from healthy volunteers.
