Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients are prone to develop complications that include stroke, acute chest syndrome, and other crises. Some of these complications require chronic transfusion therapy or red cell exchange (RCE), either for therapeutic or prophylactic reasons. Due to a discrepancy of red c

The effect of a rapid reduction of plasma lipoproteins on the alpha-and gammd-tocopherol levels in plasma, erythrocytes, and platelets was studied. Sixteen successive plasma exchange procedures performed weekly in an adult with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia were evaluated. Plasma exchan
Plasma exchange is used as primary, adjunctive, or supportive therapy for a variety of clinical disorders. Although plasma exchange is considered a reasonably safe procedure, acute complications can occur and include citrate toxicity, vasovagal reactions, allergic reactions, respiratory distress, se
## Abstract Cyclosporine is commonly used as an immunosuppressive agent in both solid organ and bone marrow transplant. While used for graft rejection in organ transplantation, cyclosporine has been used to enable tolerance and for prevention of acute graftβversusβhost disease in bone marrow transp
The problem of potassium and sodium exchange by mammalian erythrocytes has been the subject of a number of investigations (Wilbrandt, '37 ; Davson, '40, '42 ; Harris, '41 ;
Severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) can cause life-threatening hemolysis requiring red blood cell transfusions (RBT). The efficiency of RBT could be improved with the use of plasma exchanges (PEx) before RBT. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of PEx in severe AIHA of
