[Xanthomatosis in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia].

The clinical findings in 63 patients with xanthomas were analysed. Among them 5 had xanthelasmas and normal lipids. The largest group (37) consisted of females with xanthelasmas and heterozygotic form of hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) type II. In this group HDL cholesterol values (1,5 mmol/l) were normal and ischemic heart disease (IHD) was rare. However, in 14 males HDL values (1,1 mml/l) were low while IHD was common. Cholesterol deposits in the folds of the palm (xanthochtomia striata palmaris), tuberous xanthoma and peripheral artery changes were characteristical findings for all three patients with HLP type III. In patients with HLP type IV and eruptive xanthomas, obesity was common finding (4/4) and disturbed glycoregulation (2/4) and triglyceride values were very high (X = 61,1 mmol/l).

[Treatment of porphyria cutanea tarda using plasma exchange].

Results in the treatment of 5 patients with porphyria cutanea tarda by plasma exchange are presented. The procedure was applied every second or third day, 2-4 procedures in total. Saline solution, 5% or 12% albumin were used as plasma substitutes. The treatment lead to rapid fall in urine porphyrin level and improved clinical picture. The treatment was continued ambulatorily by 60 mg of vitamin E tbl. daily and Essentiale tbl. 3 X 1, which lead to further progressive fall in porphyrin level and improved clinical picture.
