Urinary Neopterin and Microalbuminuria in Patients Treated by Low-density Lipoprotein Apheresis
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-apheresis is a method of extracorporeal elimination of LDL-cholesterol in patients with severe primary lipoprotein disorders.

Mechanism, clinical consequences, and management of dyslipidemia in children with nephrotic syndrome [PDF]
Dyslipidemia in nephrotic syndrome (NS) is often characterized by marked increases in the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and other lipoproteins, such as very low-density lipoprotein, intermediate-density ...

LDL-Apheresis: Technical and Clinical Aspects
The prognosis of patients suffering from severe hyperlipidemia, sometimes combined with elevated lipoprotein (a) levels, and coronary heart disease refractory to diet and lipid-lowering drugs is poor. For such patients, regular treatment with low-density

LIPOPROTEIN APHERESIS: YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW. REVIEW
The first attempts to treat patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HCH) were performed in the 60ies and 70ies using a total plasma exchange. Later on, more specific lipoprotein apheresis (LA) methods have been developed – the replacement

Lipoprotein apheresis: an update
Since the 1980s, several lipoprotein apheresis methods that eliminate atherogenic lipoproteins (LDL and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]) have been developed. These methods are based on the following principles: precipitation, adsorption and filtration. In Dresden (Germany), we started to perform extracorporeal treatment in 1990; in the 1980s we were working as ...

Lipoprotein(a) – Marker for cardiovascular risk and target for lipoprotein apheresis
Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) consists of an LDL particle whose apolipoprotein B (apoB) is covalently bound to apolipoprotein(a) (apo[a]). An increased Lp(a) concentration is a causal, independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and a predictor of incident or recurrent cardiovascular events. Although Lp(a) was first described as
