## Background: Human albumin is commonly used as a replacement fluid in therapeutic plasma exchange (pe). in order to determine whether pentaspan (pes), a synthetic low molecular weight starch solution, might be an effective substitute, we compared albumin with pes in 12 patients with myasthenia gr
We compared the safety, effect on plasma proteins, and contribution to hypocalcemic toxicity of 10% pentastarch vs. 5% albumin in plasma exchange. Thirty-two neurology patients underwent 161 plasma exchange procedures. Subjects were randomized to receive either 10% pentastarch (n ס 17) or 5% album
