Sphingosine-1-Phosphate (S1P) Is a Feasible Biomarker in Predicting the Efficacy of Polymyxin B-Immobilized Fiber Direct Hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) in Patients with Septic Shock.

CONCLUSION: S1P levels prior to PMX-DHP can be used to predict its efficacy. In addition, continuous monitoring of S1P levels can indicate the effectiveness of PMX-DHP in patients with septic shock.
