Abstract

The first long-term experience with lipid apheresis in a hemodialysis patient with refractory combined hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease is described. Simultaneous treatment was performed once a week using two separate machines connected by parallel flow. Correction of hyperlipidemia was achieved, accompanied by inhibition of progressive coronary heart disease, enabling kidney transplantation.
