Effect of Low-Density Lipoprotein Apheresis on Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2005
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) is a proinflammatory participant in atherosclerosis and a potential biomarker for coronary heart disease. The effects of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis on Lp-PLA(2) levels were evaluated in 8 patients with cardiovascular disease.

Low‐Density Lipoprotein Apheresis: Principles and Indications

Seminars in Dialysis, 2012
AbstractLow‐density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis describes a group of apheresis techniques that selectively remove apolipoprotein B‐containing lipoproteins producing an acute reduction in LDL‐cholesterol (LDL‐C). Six devices are available for the removal of LDL‐C while sparing other important plasma components. The LDL‐apheresis (LDL‐A) is not routinely

Low‐density lipoprotein apheresis in a patient aged 3.5 years

Acta Paediatrica, 2001
A 3.5 y‐old girl carrying a severe mutation of the LDL‐receptor gene known as “FH Pavia”, affected by homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and at high risk of developing coronary artery atherosclerosis was treated with selective dextran sulphate cellulose (DSC) column low‐density lipoprotein apheresis (LDL‐a).

Brief History of Low‐density Lipoprotein Apheresis

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2003
Abstract:  Low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis is a technology used to remove LDL from hypercholesterolemic patients. The technique includes both specific and non‐specific removal of LDL such as exchange of the whole plasma and selective adorption of LDL.

Low Density Lipoprotein-Apheresis Decreases Oxidized Low Density Lipoproteins and Monocyte Adhesion to Endothelial Cells

ASAIO Journal, 1997
The mutual interaction between monocytes and low density lipoprotein (LDL) in atherogenesis prompted a test of the hypothesis that LDL-apheresis could reduce the adhesive properties of monocytes to endothelium; and therefore interfere with a key mechanism in atheroma formation.

Evaluation of Albumin Loss During Low-density Lipoprotein Apheresis

ASAIO Transactions, 1990
Because the reduced plasma oncotic pressure from hypoproteinemia causes hyperlipidemia, serum albumin levels should be maintained during low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis. The amount of albumin loss was evaluated in seven patients with familial hypercholesterolemia during LDL apheresis in which columns packed with dextran sulfate-cellulose beads ...

Changes in Oxidative Stress and Microcirculation by Low‐density Lipoprotein Apheresis

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2003
Abstract:  Low‐density lipoprotein apheresis (LDLA) leads to an improvement of microcirculation during the very early stages of treatment, and continued treatment may produce antiatherogenic effects in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Suppression of oxidative stress, improvement of endothelial functions and alteration in the action of ...

The Role of Low Density Lipoprotein Apheresis in the Treatment of Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Therapeutic Apheresis, 1997
Abstract: The chief indication for low density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis is the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a potentially fatal condition that responds poorly to conventional therapy. Dextran sulfate/cellulose adsorption columns (Kaneka) and on‐line heparin precipitation (HELP) are the most popular systems used in LDL

The Effect of Low-Density Lipoprotein Apheresis on Plasma Thrombomodulating Factors

ASAIO Journal, 1992
The authors have investigated the effects of double-membrane filtration with hollow fiber membranes made of different artificial materials and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-adsorbent dextran sulfate cellulose (DS) columns on coagulation-related proteins and complement components to evaluate their hemocompatibility.

Low‐Density Lipoprotein Apheresis and Changes in Plasma Components

Therapeutic Apheresis, 2001
Abstract: Several different techniques of low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis are available for management of severe hypercholesterolemia. Among them, the adsorption system with a dextran‐sulfate cellulose (DSC) column is most widely used. In addition to adsorption of LDL, DSC adsorbs plasma constituents that have the following characteristics ...
