Lipoprotein-apheresis reduces circulating microparticles in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia[S] [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2014
Lipoprotein-apheresis (apheresis) removes LDL-cholesterol in patients with severe dyslipidemia. However, reduction is transient, indicating that the long-term cardiovascular benefits of apheresis may not solely be due to LDL removal. Microparticles (MPs)

LDL-apheresis depletes apoE-HDL and pre-β1-HDL in familial hypercholesterolemia: relevance to atheroprotection

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2011
Subnormal HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (apo)AI levels are characteristic of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), reflecting perturbed intravascular metabolism with compositional anomalies in HDL particles, including apoE enrichment. Does LDL-

Impact of LDL apheresis on atheroprotective reverse cholesterol transport pathway in familial hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
In familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are associated with functional alterations of HDL particles that reduce their capacity to mediate the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) pathway.

The Pathological Role of LDL in Membranous Nephropathy and Diabetic Nephropathy and the Protective Efficacy of LDL Apheresis: A Narrative Review [PDF]

open access: yesToxins
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease worldwide. One-third of patients with DN develop primary glomerulonephritis, and membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common concurrent glomerulonephritis.

Myeloperoxidase modulation by LDL apheresis in Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2011
Background Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a marker of plaque vulnerability and a mechanistic bridge between inflammation and cardiovascular disease, and thus is a suitable target for therapeutic strategy against cardiovascular disease.

Population Pharmacokinetics and Exposure‐Response Modeling for Evinacumab in Children, Adolescents, and Adults With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology
Evinacumab, an angiopoietin‐like 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibitor, significantly reduces low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C), independent of low‐density lipoprotein receptor, in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

LDL Apheresis and Inflammation – Implications for Atherosclerosis

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2012
AbstractLow‐density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis is an extracorporeal treatment modality used in high‐risk patients when LDL cholesterol levels cannot be reduced adequately with medication. The treatment is highly effective, but could be affected by potential unwanted effects on pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory biomarkers.

Outpatient monthly plasmapheresis with post-PLEX evinacumab in pediatric homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: a case report on port access and immunoglobulin preservation [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severely elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, predisposing patients to early cardiovascular disease.

Real-World Safety Data From the World Apheresis Association Registry for the Spectra Optia Apheresis System. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Clin Apher
ABSTRACT In this study we analyzed 12 years of adverse events, (AE) data from the World Apheresis Association, (WAA) Registry specific to the Spectra Optia Apheresis System. We queried WAA Registry data, (2012–2023) on apheresis procedures performed exclusively on the Spectra Optia Apheresis System.
