Effect of anticoagulation regimens on handling of interleukin-6 and -8 during continuous venovenous hemofiltration in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury

► Type of anticoagulation may affect bioincompatibility of filters in CVVH. ► Fluxes of IL-6/IL-8 across filters did not differ among anticoagulation methods. ► Clearance, adsorption and removal were low and did not differ between the groups. ► IL-6 and IL-8 are high in critically ill non-survivors, irrespective of CVVH.
