Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have early development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lipid level-lowering medications are not always successful in reducing increased low-density lipoprotein C (LDL-C) levels. Lipoprotein apheresis (LA) therapy has proven its clinical benefit in reducing CVD events for patients with FH with hypercholesterolemia. LA reduces LDL-C levels by more than 60% in patients with FH and reduces CVD events. LA also reduces Lp(a) levels and CVD events. LA reduces inflammatory markers and blood viscosity.
家族性高胆固醇血症(FH)患者早期会出现动脉粥样硬化和心血管疾病(CVD)。降脂药物在降低升高的低密度脂蛋白C(LDL-C)水平方面并不总是成功的。脂蛋白分离(LA)疗法已证明其对患有高胆固醇血症的FH患者在减少CVD事件方面具有临床益处。LA可使FH患者的LDL-C水平降低60%以上,并减少CVD事件。LA还可降低脂蛋白(a)水平和CVD事件。LA可降低炎症标志物和血液粘度。
