Objective:
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of HA280 and DNA280 immunoadsorption (IA) column in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and provide the basis for seeking cost-effective solution for SLE.
Methods:
Fifty-seven severe SLE patients receiving IA treatment from January 2007 to December 2013 were selected. They were divided into HA280 group (31 cases) and DNA280 group (26 cases), which used HA280 and DNA280 IA column, respectively. The efficacy, adverse reactions, and hospitalization cost of the two groups were compared.
Results:
Both two groups could effectively reduce the SLE-associated antibodies, immunoglobulins, complement levels, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and 24-h urine protein levels (P < 0.05). The efficiency and incidence of adverse reactions of two groups were similar (P > 0.05), while the hospitalization cost of HA280 group was significantly less than that of DNA280 group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Application of HA280 IA column in IA treatment is relatively the most cost-effective adjuvant therapy to severe SLE.
