The first local experiences with rheopheresis treatment

Osszefoglalo. Hatter: A rheopheresis egy szelektiv, extracorporalis, kettős kaszkadfiltracios eljaras, mely előzetes plazmaszeparaciot kovetően egy specialis filter segitsegevel kivonja a verplazmabol a hiperviszkozitasert felelős komponenseket, ugymint alacsony sűrűsegű lipoprotein, lipoprotein(a), triglicerid, koleszterin, fibrinogen, α2-makroglobulin, Von Willebrand-faktor, immunglobulin-M. Modszer es Betegek: Klinikankon az elmult 5 evben MONET filter alkalmazasaval osszesen 80 kezelest vegeztunk hiperviszkozitassal osszefuggő, időskori szaraz maculadegeneratioban, diabeteses also vegtagi fekelyben, illetve neuropathiaban. Eredmenyek: A dolgozatban beszamolunk kedvező klinikai tapasztalatainkrol, a viszkozitas, a klinikai tunetek es az elektroneurografiai parameterek tukreben. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(10): 375-382. SUMMARY BACKGROUND Rheopheresis is a selective, extracorporeal, double cascade filtration method. After a previous plasma separation, with the help of a special filter it extracts compounds from blood plasma which are responsible for hyperviscosity such as low-density lipoprotein, lipoprotein(a), triglyceride, cholesterine, fibrinogen, α2-macroglobulin, Von Willebrand factor, immunoglobulin M. METHOD AND PATIENTS In the past 5 years, with the application of MONET filter we performed 80 therapies to treat age-related macula degeneration, diabetic foot ulcers and neuropathy which are complicated with hyperviscosity. RESULTS The review describes our benefical clinical experiences in consideration of viscosity, clinical symptoms and electroneurography parameters. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(10): 375-382.
