[The clinical trial of a Russian membrane plasma filter in patients under therapy]. / Klinicheskaia aprobatsiia otechestvennogo membrannogo plazmofil'tra u terapevticheskikh bol'nykh.

ABSTRACT

35 procedures of plasmofiltration were conducted on the test series of domestic membrane plasmofilter in 25 patients suffering from atopic diseases, systemic affections of connective tissue, advanced atherosclerosis, etc. The filter proved promising in therapeutic patients. The procedure is easier to perform compared to centrifuge plasmapheresis, it can work under thin blood flow. However, centrifuge plasmapheresis has advantages over the above filtration in patients with hyperhydration, hemorrhagic syndrome, contraindications to large-dose anticoagulants.
