    Author: Kolesnyk MO, Velychko MB, Dudar IO.
    Journal: Lik Sprava; 1992 Oct; (10):52-4. PubMed ID: 1485447.
    Abstract:
    Plasmapheresis (P) was used in the complex treatment of 16 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CHG) and nephrotic syndrome. Before P. 12 patients were treated ineffectively with prednisolone and curantyl. After 3-5 sessions of P detoxication was observed in all patients, increased diuresis (15 patients). Renal function normalized in 4 of 5 patients, proteinuria reduced by 50-80%. The authors discuss indications of including P into the complex treatment of patients in whom chronic glomerulonephritis with the nephrotic syndrome was present.
