We report a case of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) who very well responded to the combination strategy of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and immunosuppression. The patient was a 38-year-old female, diagnosed with severe form of WG. A total of seven cycles was performed with 1.3 total plasma volumes (TPVs) on every alternate day. Standard induction therapy was also started that comprised of a combination of 500 mg intravenous (i.v.) cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone 1 g slow i.v. daily for 3 days followed by oral prednisolone 60 mg daily for 4 weeks. After seven cycles of TPE, the patient improved and hence TPE was stopped.
我们报告一例韦格纳肉芽肿(WG)患者,其对治疗性血浆置换(TPE)与免疫抑制的联合策略反应良好。该患者为一名38岁女性,被诊断为重症韦格纳肉芽肿。共进行了七个周期的治疗,每隔一天置换1.3个总血浆量(TPV)。同时开始标准诱导治疗,包括静脉注射500mg环磷酰胺和每天静脉缓慢注射1g甲泼尼龙,持续3天,随后口服泼尼松龙60mg,持续4周。经过七个周期的TPE治疗后,患者病情改善,因此停止了TPE治疗。
