Abstract

It is shown that low volumes of plasmapheresis can be used in combined treatment of patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia who did not respond well to the routine therapy. It is a safe detoxication method with immunocorrective, hyposensitizing action that promotes more effective transfusion of red blood cell pack and washed red blood cells, and permits a significant decrease in glucocorticosteroid doses. It has been suggested that plasmapheresis could be used at early stages of the disease treatment.
