title: [Treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer by plasmapheresis and transfusion of thawed-out autologous plasma].
abstract: Curative plasmapheresis was performed in 21 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU) and in 3 patients with gastric ulcer (12 DU patients and 3 patients with gastric ulcer were taken as controls). The controls were treated by common pharmaceuticals (except Tagamet). Altogether 117 sessions of plasmapheresis were performed (an average of 5 sessions for each patient 2-3 times a week). Fibrogastroscopy was performed before and after a series of plasmapheresis (2-3 weeks after the start of therapy). In the DU patients treated by plasmapheresis ulcer cicatrization occurred in 18 days, in the controls in 27 days (p less than 0.001). In 3 patients with gastric ulcer treated by plasmapheresis cicatrization occurred on the 24th day, in the controls on the 41st day (p greater than 0.2). This method was proposed for patients with severe conditions due to the fact that a positive effect was also obtained in persons with persistently recurrent ulcers.
