  • Appraisal of studies focusing on registry requirements.
  • Evaluation of evidence regarding apheresis efficacy and clinical applications.

    • Main Results:

    • Recent literature emphasizes the necessity for national registries for lipoprotein apheresis.
    • The review covers the efficacy of lipoprotein apheresis in homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia and for managing elevated lipoprotein (a).
    • The role of apheresis in acute pancreatitis due to severe hypertriglyceridaemia is also discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Lipoprotein apheresis use is expanding, suggesting improved guideline adherence or expanded indications.
    • The development of registries is vital for future research and clinical practice improvement.
    • Further data collection will clarify the full impact of lipoprotein apheresis.
