Clinico-biochemical evaluation of the effectiveness of plasmapheresis in the treatment of severe forms of viral hepatitis

The study was performed of clinico-biochemical effect of plasmapheresis (PA) in severe viral hepatitis B, mixed hepatitis and hepatitis delta. Altogether 24 patients, all of them HBsAg carriers, were examined. With associated acute hepatic encephalopathy, clinical effect in hepatitis of PA was insig...

Description
Summary:	The study was performed of clinico-biochemical effect of plasmapheresis (PA) in severe viral hepatitis B, mixed hepatitis and hepatitis delta. Altogether 24 patients, all of them HBsAg carriers, were examined. With associated acute hepatic encephalopathy, clinical effect in hepatitis of PA was insignificant notwithstanding positive biochemical changes. In the absence of hepatic encephalopathy PA effect was pronounced both clinically and biochemically.
