[A possible complication of therapeutic plasmapheresis].
Possibility of citric intoxication as a complication of therapeutic plasmapheresis is being discussed on the basis of two clinical observations. Hemodynamic reactions to sodium citrate administration have been noted during reinfusion of auto red cell mass. It is suggested that the development of collapsoid reaction, accompanied by a significant decrease in the total peripheral resistance at a stable cardiac output and cardiac index, is determined by the transition of the ionized calcium of the blood into calcium citrate, and thus the violation of the processes regulating the excitement and constriction of the muscular cells in the peripheral arteries. On the basis of further observations (360 therapeutic plasmapheresis procedures) gradual injections of small calcium quantities are recommended for the prevention of citric reactions during reinfusion of auto red cell mass.
