[Hemosorption in systemic vasculitis].

The present work summarises the experience gained with the use of extracorporeal hemoperfusion in 45 patients suffering from rheumatic diseases. During hemoperfusion, there was a decrease in the initially activated LDH, CPK, AST, ALT and AP. The reduction of the content of phospholipids and cholesterol in plasma and red blood cells is assessed as an adverse effect of hemoperfusion, since the content of phospholipids and cholesterol was under normal before hemoperfusion. The changes indicated point to the necessity of administering antioxidants and exogenous phospholipids.

[Hemosorption in the complex treatment of rheumatic diseases].

The authors describe the results of the use of hemosorption in combined treatment of 42 patients with rheumatic diseases. The main group comprised patients with thromboangitis obliterans (23), nonspecific aortoarteritis was recognized in 6 cases, systemic scleroderma and systemic lupus erythematosus in 4, nodular periarteritis in 2. The functional skin tests were made with the aid of the KDU-3 unit, the level of the peripheral blood flow was measured with tetrapolar rheography and impedometry. The degree of redox processes and oxygen tension in the tissues was studied by the polarographic technique, the character of microcirculatory processes with the aid of biomicroscopy of the eyeball conjunctiva, the intensity of immunologic shifts by means of precipitation with polyethylene glycol at different dilutions. In addition, alterations in cellular and serum enzymes were also examined. The data obtained suggest that hemosorption is one of the effective additional methods of the treatment of patients with rheumatic diseases.
