Abstract
Figure 1 illustrates the ammonia-clearances of the dialyzer and Cytosorb® and ammonia-concentrations. Note: Green boxplots (always the first of the two boxplots) illustrate the ammonia clearance (mL/min) by the dialyzer and yellow boxplots show the ammonia clearance (mL/min) by Cytosorb®. The cytokine adsorber Cytosorb® does not reduce ammonia concentrations in critically ill patients with liver failure. [Extracted from the article]
