[The joint use of hemosorption and plasmapheresis in the combined treatment of rheumatoid arthritis patients].
OBJECTIVE
Assessment of hemopheresis effects on calcium-regulating and immune systems, clinical and laboratory activity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).


METHODS
Hemosorption and plasmapheresis were included in combined treatment of 86 RA patients. Plasmapheresis was performed 3-5 days after hemosorption (a total of 4-6 procedures per course). The activity of RA, immune and calcium-regulating system were assessed clinically, with laboratory tests, enzyme immunoassay.


RESULTS
Hemosorption plus plasmapheresis produced positive effects on the disease course, activity. Laboratory indices improved. Percentage of T-helpers and T-suppressors, calcitonin loading rate, levels of parathormone, calcidiol normalized.


CONCLUSIONS
Combined hemopheresis therapy promotes correction of disorders in immune and calcium-regulating systems.
