[Blood protein-volume indicators in massive plasmapheresis].
Hyperproteinemia values were studied before and after plasmapheresis in 32 rheumatoid arthritis patients with no manifest circulatory disorders. Mathematical patterns enabling prediction of changes in protein concentration depending on the volume of removed plasma and the type of substitution have been proposed for 3 alternative regimens of the procedure (removal of 0.5 or 1.0 volume of the circulating plasma, and substitution for rheopolyglucin or albumin). The data of independent "examining" sampling (15 patients) have proved adequacy of the linear regression patterns.
