Immunoadsorption in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Therapeutic Apheresis, 2000 Abstract: The prognosis for patients suffering from advanced stages of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is poor. Recent studies have shown that immunoadsorption (IA) may represent an effective alternative therapeutic approach for other kinds of autoimmune diseases with circulating autoantibodies. The objective of this pilot study was to ascertain the short‐

Indian Journal of Nephrology, 2021 Selective immunoadsorption (IA) is a technique to remove preformed Anti-ABO antibodies in ABO-incompatible renal transplants (ABOiRT). Since the cost of a single IA column is high and single use rarely achieves the target anti-ABO titers, its use is not widely spread. We studied the safety and efficacy of the reuse of IA columns in ABOiRT.Single-center,
