PURPOSE: Therapeutic erythrocytapheresis is a selective red cell-depletion aphaeresis technique. CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND KEY POINT: Using a discontinuous or continuous flow blood cell separator, the technique safely allows quickly and automatically collecting a large volume of red cells. The main obstacle of implementation is a poor peripheral venous access. The procedure is well-tolerated. Polycythemia vera, hereditary hemochromatosis, complicated sickle-cell- disease and retinal venous occlusion are the main clinical applications. PROSPECT AND PROJECT: Therapeutic erythrocytapheresis is a more modern and more effective method than the classic patient-bleeding. It has to be preferred in the early treatment of patients with polycythemia vera and hereditary hemochromatosis. ---------------------- Article Central retinal vein occlusion complicating systemic lupus erythematosus Michael Silverman, M.D. *, Marvin J.

"Hemodilution may offer a therapeutic approach to this pathology" [Treatment of central retinal vein occlusion by isovolemic hemodilution ] Dec 2007 J Douat,E Ancele,M Cournot,V Pagot-Mathis,A Mathis,J C Quintyn PURPOSE: Evaluate the effects of hemodilution in the treatment of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

( view more )ed in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 12th months following treatment with measurement of visual acuity, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: Our study included 17 men and eight women, averaging 63 years of age (range, 35-87 years), and monitored for an average of 7 months (range, 3-12 months). After the 6th month following treatment, average visual acuity improved compared to initial visual acuity. Initial visual acuity of less than 1/10, with the existence of poorly irrigated areas in the angiography, presented negative prognosis factors. The number of hemodilutions did not produce a significant difference in final visual acuity. No serious complications due to hemodilution were observed. DISCUSSION: Treatment of CRVO is subject to debate. Some practitioners recommend against treatment, while others advocate intervention and offer laser- induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis. Surgical vitrectomy and radial optical neurotomy, with or without injection of triamcinolone, await evaluation. Hemodilution may offer a therapeutic approach to this pathology, in which the etiopathogenesis is not yet recognized, but in which blood viscosity plays a key role. This treatment is well tolerated. CONCLUSION: Hemodilutions appear to have beneficial effects in treating CRVO, whatever the number of hemodilutions used. This study should be confirmed by a prospective study using an untreated control group. Who loves ya.

From: ferrous on 31 Jul 2008 11:51 "Modern day bloodletting. Hemodilution is also called .. modern day bloodletting .. and surprise .. it TOO works." And it works by: "blood viscosity" being lowered, nothing to do with tissue iron levels, nary a spec of "rust" in sight It's a pun son, a pun.. Jesus ate a mediterranean diet.
