[The effect of therapeutic plasmapheresis on changes in the rheological properties of the blood in bronchial asthma patients].
Bronchial asthma runs its course in association with marked blood viscosity which lies in a decrease of deformability of red blood cells and suspension stability of red blood cells, an increase of their aggregation capacity and of whole blood viscosity, of platelet proneness to decelerated and little noticeable aggregation, in hyperfibrinogenemia and hyperglobulinemia. Therapeutic plasmapheresis produces a favourable action on changes of the rheological blood properties in bronchial asthma patients. Plasmapheresis entails an improvement of whole blood viscosity and red blood cell aggregation, accompanied, however, by aggravation of the aggregation properties of platelets. Therapeutic plasmapheresis can be used for correction of the syndrome of high blood viscosity in bronchial asthma patients.
