✦ Synopsis

Long-term plasmaphercsis (PP) therapy was studied in a 56-year-old patient with homozygous type IIa familial hypercholestcrolemia also suffering from severe coronary heart disease. Three different PP techniques, plasma exchange (PE), double-membrane-filtration plasmapheresis (DFP), and the recently developed low-density lipoprotein adsorbent column (adsorption plasmapheresis, adsorption PP), were used in an attempt to develop better means of managing the discase. All three techniques showed similar elimination efficiency with respect to plasma total cholesterol level. Adsorption PP with minimal supplemental plasma protein managed the circulatory status of the patient better than DFP during extracorporeal treatment. In the course of PP therapy xanthoma tuberosum markedly regressed, and the cardiac status of the patient was clearly improved.

N-terminal procollagen-III peptide (P-III-P) has been considered a marker of fibrogenesis and inflammatory activity of the liver. We measured the P-III-P serum levels in 83 cirrhotic patients fully characterized from a clinical and laboratory point of view. Cirrhotic patients had significantly highe
