[The plasmoimmunosorption of low-density lipoproteins in the treatment of patients with hereditary hypercholesterolemia].

The authors describe the experience gained with the use of apheresis of low density lipoproteins with the aid of the Soviet immunosorption columns with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies in patients with hereditary hypercholesterolemia resistant to the diet and hypolipidemic drug therapy. High specificity of apheresis of low density lipoproteins and high efficacy of the use of the sorption columns to correct hypercholesterolemia have been demonstrated.
