A 66-year-old patient with polyarteritis nodosa presented with thrombocytosis and was found to have circulating immune complexes. Treatment by plasma exchange produced symptomatic improvement and lowered both the platelet count and the level of immune complexes. While plasma exchange is a useful technique in investigating the pathogenesis of the disease, predisolone is a more convenient way of treating it.
一名66岁的结节性多动脉炎患者出现血小板增多症,且发现有循环免疫复合物。血浆置换治疗使症状得到改善,同时降低了血小板计数和免疫复合物水平。虽然血浆置换是研究该疾病发病机制的一种有用技术,但泼尼松龙是一种更方便的治疗方法。
