Abstract
The traditional methods of treating burns usually have limited therapeutic effect in patients with severe burns because of the inability of the kidneys to eliminate toxic metabolites. Haemoperfusion with activated carbon is more effective, but these sorbents precipitate on their surface plasma proteins, immunoglobulins, hormones and enzymes, with a consequent unfavourable effect on the patient’s immunity.
