[Prognosis of plasmapheresis in patients with thyrotoxicosis]

The kinetic model of continuous gravitation plasmapheresis on preoperative preparation of patients with thyrotoxicosis has been developed and fried on 41 patients who had failed thyrostatic drugs or were intolerant to them. The model takes into account the process of plasma mixing. The prognostic value of the model in all cases exceeded 0.83; being in sonne cases > 0.09. The prognostic accuracy of the model was higher if the plasma volume and thyroid hormones concentration were considered.
