Taken from Early Induced Innate Immunity by Makenlight, "Cytokines called chemokines (def) are especially important in this part of the inflammatory response. They play key roles in diapedesis -enabling white blood cells to adhere to the inner surface of blood vessels, migrate out of the blood vessels into the tissue, and be chemotactically attracted to the injured or infected site. They also trigger extracellular killing by neutrophils."

Cytokines play important roles in combating sepsis. It is not unlikely there could be critical cytokine levels for tackling sepsis and that removing too many cytokines with Cytosorb could be injurious.
