HELP LDL apheresis reduces plasma pentraxin 3 in familial hypercholesterolemia.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundPentraxin 3 (PTX3), a key component of the humoral arm of innate immunity, is secreted by vascular cells in response to injury, possibly aiming at tuning arterial activation associated with vascular damage.

The High Price of Interrupted Follow‐Up: Catastrophic Progression of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia—A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common monogenic lipid disorder, primarily resulting from mutations in LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes. These mutations cause persistently high levels of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C), predisposing affected individuals to premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD ...

Low-density lipoprotein apheresis in a pediatric patient of familial hypercholesterolemia: Primi experientia from a tertiary care center in North India

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2017
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder due to mutation of apolipoprotein-B receptor gene causing severe dyslipidemia. Lifestyle modification and medical treatment attenuate the disease progression, but as these fail to ...

VLDL/LDL acts as a drug carrier and regulates the transport and metabolism of drugs in the body

Scientific Reports, 2017
Only free drugs have been believed to be carried into tissues through active or passive transport. However, considering that lipoproteins function as carriers of serum lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides, we hypothesized that lipoproteins can ...

Effects of weekly LDL-apheresis on metabolic parameters of apolipoprotein B in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
Apheresis is a treatment option for patients with severe hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease. It is, however, unknown whether such therapy changes kinetic parameters of lipoprotein metabolism, such as apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion rates,

Management of Pregnancy in a Patient with Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Previous Myocardial Infarction—Treatment with LDL Apheresis: A Case Report

Reports
Familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disorder marked by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), poses significant risks for premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, particularly during pregnancy. One of the safe methods of
