Summary

Therapeutic plasmapheresis can reduce antibody titers in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and during pregnancy. Careful monitoring of serum protein levels is essential post-procedure to manage potential decreases.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Therapeutic Apheresis

Context:

  • Investigates the application of plasmapheresis for immune system disturbances.
  • Examines outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and neurodermatitis.
  • Includes pregnant women with rhesus antibodies.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic plasmapheresis in reducing antibody titers.
  • To assess the impact of plasmapheresis on serum protein levels.
  • To report on the use of various plasmapheresis equipment.

Summary:

  • 85 therapeutic plasmaphereses were performed on 39 patients across different conditions.
  • Utilized Soviet (RK-0.5, PF-0.5, FK-3.5) and US (Aminco, IBM) plasmapheresis devices.
  • Observed an immediate decrease in serum protein (9-13%) after withdrawing 1.3 L of plasma weekly, with 40% albumin substitution.

Impact:

  • Highlights the necessity of continuous serum protein monitoring following plasmapheresis.
  • Provides data on plasmapheresis outcomes for specific autoimmune and pregnancy-related conditions.
  • Demonstrates the practical application and immediate physiological effects of therapeutic plasma exchange.
