Supplementary Material for: Nomenclature of extracorporeal blood purification therapies for acute indications – The Nomenclature Standardization Conference

The development of new extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) techniques has led to increased application in clinical practice but also inconsistencies in nomenclature and misunderstanding. In November 2022, an international consensus conference was held to establish consensus on the terminology of EBP therapies. It was agreed to define EBP therapies as techniques that use an extracorporeal circuit to remove and/or modulate circulating substances to achieve physiological homeostasis, including support of the function of specific organs and/or detoxification. Specific acute EBP techniques include renal replacement therapy, isolated ultrafiltration, hemoadsorption and plasma therapies, all of which can be applied in isolation and combination. This paper summarises the proposed nomenclature of EBP therapies and serves as a framework for clinical practice and future research.

新型体外血液净化（extracorporeal blood purification, EBP）技术的发展使其临床应用日益增多，但也带来了命名不统一与认知误解的问题。2022年11月，国际共识会议召开，旨在就EBP治疗的术语规范达成统一意见。与会各方一致同意将EBP治疗定义为：利用体外循环通路清除和/或调节循环中的物质，以实现生理内稳态，包括支持特定器官功能和/或解毒治疗。具体的急性EBP技术包括肾脏替代治疗、单纯超滤、血液灌流及血浆治疗，上述技术均可单独或联合应用。本文总结了EBP治疗的推荐命名方案，可为临床实践与未来研究提供参考框架。
