Abstract
Double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) was used in preference to plasma exchange in our program of antibody-incompatible transplantation, to treat higher volumes of plasma. Forty-two patients had 259 sessions of DFPP, 201 pre-transplant and 58 post-transplant. At the first treatment session, the mean plasma volume treated was 3.81 L (range 3-6 L), 55.5 mL/kg (range 36.2-83.6 mL/kg). Serum IgG fell by mean 59.4% (SD 10.2%), and IgM by 69.3% (SD 16.1%). Nine patients did not require increases in plasma volumes treated, and six did not tolerate higher plasma volumes. In the remaining patients, the mean maximum plasma volume treated pre-transplant was 6.67 L (range 4-15 L), 96.1 mL/kg (range 60.2-208.9 mL/kg). The complement dependent cytotoxic crossmatch was positive in 14 cases pre-treatment, and remained positive in six (42.8%) cases. The flow cytometric crossmatch was positive in 29 cases pre-treatment, and in 21 (72.4%) after DFPP. Post-transplant, DFPP was ineffective at reducing donor specific antibody levels during periods of rapid donor specific antibody synthesis. Post-transplant, the one year graft survival rate was 94%, although there was a high rate of early rejection. In summary, DFPP enabled the treatment of plasma ...Continue Reading
