This survey reveals therapeutic hemapheresis is available nationwide in Norway, with dialysis units dominating procedures. Indications largely mirror Sweden, with notable differences in stem cell collections and erythrocytaphereses.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Hematology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • First comprehensive survey of therapeutic hemapheresis in Norway.
  • Data collected from all Norwegian dialysis and blood units performing hemapheresis and stem cell collection.
  • Comparative analysis with Swedish hemapheresis data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey therapeutic hemapheresis practices in Norway.
  • To collect data on hemapheresis procedures, patient numbers, and indications.
  • To compare Norwegian hemapheresis data with Swedish data.

Main Methods:

  • Nationwide questionnaire distributed to all regional and central hospitals in Norway.
  • Included specialized stem cell apheresis centers.
  • Data collected on the number of procedures, patients, and indications for hemapheresis.

Main Results:

  • All surveyed units responded, with 17 dialysis units, seven blood units, and two specialized units performing hemapheresis.
  • A total of 2,141 hemapheresis procedures were recorded.
  • Norway performs 5 stem cell collections and 42.5 therapeutic apheresis procedures per 100,000 inhabitants.

Conclusions:

  • Therapeutic hemapheresis is accessible across all Norwegian health regions.
  • Indications align with Swedish data, except for stem cell collections and erythrocytaphereses.
  • Norwegian practice is characterized by the high volume of procedures in dialysis units and the prevalent use of filtration techniques.
