[Extracorporeal treatments for some autoimmune eye diseases]

Fifty-three patients with eye diseases caused by autoimmune disorders received complex treatment involving extracorporeal techniques, such as hemosorption, plasmapheresis, and double cascade plasma filtration in combination with pulse therapy. Clinical, laboratory, morphometric, and biochemical studies show the efficacy of hemosorption in relieving acute manifestations of an inflammatory process and the stabilizing action of these methods on ocular epithelial tissue, immunological activity, and systemic manifestations of the underlying disease.
