Aiming to improve the efficiency of the blood purification convective methods either with spontaneous (CAVH) or with pump-assisted (HF) extracorporeal circulation we inserted after the hemofilter a cartridge containing 70 g of collodion-coated activated charcoal (CAC) microencapsulated, obtaining so hemofiltration and hemoperfusion in series (HF+HP). The obtained results show that in both methods HP addition gives a negligible increase of urea clearance and a practically null increase of phosphate clearance, whereas creatinine and uric acid clearances increase is remarkable especially, in percentage, with low blood flows (CAVH). In the HF+HP system we have also been studying B2-microglobulin (B2-M) clearance aiming at examining the possibility of increasing the removal of substances with higher molecular weight. We have been finding HP addition increases further on B2-M clearance already high in HF. Therefore we think HP addition to convective methods is an interesting step in the attempt to carry out highly efficient blood purification methods.
