Rheopheresis: A narrative review

Abstract: Introduction: Rheopheresis is an extracorporal selective double-filtration procedure with an initial separation of plasma from the whole blood and a further filtration of the plasma through a second filter in order to eliminate a certain number of high molecular weight proteins such LDL, Lp(a), fibrinogen, α2-macroglobulin, Factor von Willebrand, and IgM Immunoglobulin. Methods: In this narrative review we discuss the available data on the effects of Rheopheresis in various clinical conditions. Results: Rheoph… Show more

“…Double filtration plasmapheresis is also called “rheopheresis” since it changes blood viscosity by removing components such as fibrinogen, α2-macroglobulin, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and immunoglobulins. This may be helpful in diseases associated with microcirculatory dysfunction, including dry age-related macular degeneration, diabetic foot, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, cerebrovascular stroke, and sudden sensorineural hearing loss [26]. Other indications include hypercholesterolemia, cryoglobulinemia, and Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia [27].…”

“…Odstraňovaná plazma může být nahrazena čerstvou mraženou plazmou dárce nebo koloidním roztokem s albuminem. Jde o neselektivní metodu, kdy jsou s plazmou odstraňovány látky o vysoké molekulové hmotnosti jako autoprotilátky, aloprotilátky, imunoglobuliny, komplexy antigen-protilátka, endogenní, exogenní jedy a další složky v plazmě přítomné [1]. Vývoj aferetických metod směřoval k více selektivním procedurám.…”
