Selective removal of plasma constituents potential application in the treatment of renal disease.
Perfectioning of the currently available techniques of selective extraction of plasma constituents by chemical, immunological and physical means either on-line or off-line is likely to have an impact on the current practice of plasmapheresis in renal disease. Because of its intrinsic advantages and the resemblance to standard dialysis techniques, hemoperfusion provides a model for future developments. Likely to find an application in the therapy of renal diseases are techniques of cascade filtration, cryogelation and filtration as well as more selective techniques such as removal of specific antibodies, G gammaglobulins, immune complexes and DNA antibodies.
