[The protein-blood volume indices during moderate plasmapheresis]

Quantitative characteristics of changes in the volume of circulating plasma and the amount of circulating protein were studied in rheumatoid arthritis patients before and after plasmapheresis of moderate intensity. Basing on the comparison of the precalculated and estimated parameters the authors have suggested 4 mathematical models equally describing the protein-volemic relationships in the body. Satisfactory correlation has been recorded between the estimated and precalculated values of protein concentration in the plasma after plasmapheresis that enables data collection in a short cut program.
