Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Hemoperfusion and Hemofiltration

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Hemoperfusion and Hemofiltration

Hemoperfusion and hemofiltration are critical techniques in medical treatments to eliminate accumulated drugs, metabolites, and electrolytes from the bloodstream. These methods are particularly vital in cases of accidental poisoning and drug overdose.Hemoperfusion involves passing blood through an adsorbent material to remove unwanted substances. The main adsorbents used in hemoperfusion include activated charcoal and Amberlite resins. Activated charcoal can adsorb both polar and nonpolar...

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Atherogenic lipoproteins like LDL cholesterol and Lp(a) contribute to cardiovascular disease.
Long-term management strategies are crucial for patients with hyperlipidemia.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and describe various technical systems for lipid apheresis therapy.
To highlight the effectiveness and safety of different apheresis techniques.

Main Methods:

Whole blood adsorption techniques (polyacrylamide, dextran sulfate cellulose).
Primary plasma separation techniques (cascade filtration, heparin-induced precipitation, immunoadsorption, silicate gel adsorption, dextran sulfate cellulose).

Main Results:

Multiple apheresis systems effectively reduce LDL cholesterol and Lp(a).
Systems demonstrate good clinical tolerance and selectivity.
Technical features of each system are detailed.

Conclusions:

Lipid apheresis is a viable option for managing atherogenic lipoproteins.
Intensive medical personnel training is essential for ensuring treatment safety and minimizing side effects.
