Despite the commonly accepted indications for hemodialysis and extracorporeal depuritive techniques, some clinicians have come to rely on blood purification for clinical states where the targeted substance for removal differs from uremic waste products. Over the last decade, a number of studies have emerged to help define the application of extracorporeal blood purification (ECBP) to these “nonuremic” indications. This review describes the application of extracorporeal blood purification in clinical states including sepsis, rhabdomyolysis, congestive heart failure, hepatic failure, tumor lysis syndrome, adult respiratory distress syndrome, intravenous contrast exposure, and lactic acidosis. Additional comments are provided to review existing literature on thermoregulation and osmoregulation, including acute brain injury.
