Low-Density Lipoprotein Apheresis in Patients with Acute Kidney Injury Due to Minimal Change Disease Requiring Acute Renal Replacement Therapy. [PDF]
Low-density lipoprotein apheresis (LDL-A) has been developed as a therapy for familial hypercholesterolemia, but LDL-A has also been used as a general treatment for drug-resistant nephrotic syndrome (NS) due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS ...

Study of biochemical changes after plateletpheresis in healthy male donors [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There is relatively little information about endogenous biochemical changes in a response to plateletpheresis in healthy donors. We aimed to investigate the changes in different biochemical parameters including glycemic status, insulin ...

Acute impact of apheresis on oxidized phospholipids in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia1
We measured oxidized phospholipids (OxPL), lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) pre- and postapheresis in 18 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and with low(∼10 mg/dl; range 10–11 mg/dl ...

From platelets to particles: Optimizing extracellular vesicle isolation in a National Blood Centre
Abstract Background and Objectives Platelet‐derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) are submicron, membrane‐bound particles released upon platelet activation, with a recognized role in haemostasis, inflammation and immunoregulation. PEVs remain insufficiently characterized in blood products.

Effect of a novel nutraceutical combination on serum lipoprotein functional profile and circulating PCSK9 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk may be obtained by improving lipid-related serum lipoprotein functions such as high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and serum cholesterol loading capacity (CLC) and by ...

Recent Progress in Double Filtration Plasmapheresis
ABSTRACT Double‐filtration plasmapheresis is an advanced extracorporeal blood purification technique that selectively removes pathogenic macromolecules based on molecular weight. Unlike conventional plasma exchange, double‐filtration plasmapheresis uses a two‐step filtration process to retain beneficial plasma components such as albumin, while ...
