[Indications and use of therapeutic component separation].
Therapeutic component separation: Clinical indications and applications. This original communication describes clinical indications, applications and results of the component separation. We have used the Hemonetics cell-separator designed for a discontinuous separation procedure. By this means component separation was rapid and plasma-exchange efficient, which offers a promising way for symptomatic treatment when a qualitative or quantitative modification of the composition of the blood is wanted (e.g. diminuation of hyperviscosity, modifications of circulating immune complexes, elimination of toxic antibodies and protein bound toxins). Component separation represents a step forward to supportive treatment and immunological reconstitution.
