Опыт применения плазмафереза в комплексной терапии идиопатического фиброзирующего альвеолита

The article presents the experience of using "program" plasmaphaeresis (plasma exchange) in the complex therapy of Idiopathic Fibrosing Alveolitis (IFA). For purposes of increasing efficiency of treatment on background of baseline therapy 480 operations were held for 91 IFA patients within 10 year period. Introduction of "program" plasmaphaeresis into IFA patients' treatment resulted in stabilization of the process: reduction of clinical implications, improvement of respiratory functions, positive dynamics in X-ray patterns and computer tomograms of the lungs which allowed materially reducing medicine doses in baseline therapy, improve quality and length of patients' life.
