[The combined efferent therapy of a blood-transfusion conflict in a puerpera]
Plasmapheresis, ultrafiltration of blood, and hemodialysis were effectively used in the treatment of a 20-year-old woman after cesarean section who was transfused 300 ml of wrong group blood. The resultant hemotransfusion conflict was characterized by shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hemolysis, acute pulmonary edema and renal failure. Plasmapheresis helped abolish the hemolysis. Pulmonary edema was eliminated by ultrafiltration of 2 liters of blood. Six sessions of hemodialysis administered within 10 days arrested renal insufficiency. The treatment administered may be considered as the method of choice in such patients.
