title: [Determination of the effectiveness of plasma exchange in kidney diseases by a biological test].
abstract: Plasma toxicity and plasma exchange efficacy were studied in two groups of patients: I gr.--8 patients with various degree of disturbed renal function who did not need hemodialysis treatment; II gr.--9 patients treated by periodic hemodialysis. A biologic toxicity test was used together with the clinical, immunologic and biochemical indices as a criterion for plasma exchange efficacy. The test gives direct information for the total plasma toxicity which is of great advantage and helps in the decision for another plasma exchange.
