Rheohaemapheresis in the treatment of nonvascular age-related macular degeneration

Original language description

Purpose: To evaluate the experience with rheohaemapheresis (RH) in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: Thirty-eight patients were each treated with 8 procedures of RH (14 males, 24 females). The control group consisted of 34random patients (30 females, 4 males) with the dry form of AMD but not treated by RH. Our modification of the cascade method (named rheohaemapheresis) was used for plasma separation. After plasma separation (blood cell separator, Cobe Spectra, Denver, CO, USA), the separated plasma was pumped through a rheofilter (Evaflux 4A, Kuraray, Osaka, Japan) to remove lipoproteins and other high-molecular-weight rheologic factors. Results: In treated patients, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) increased significantly from 0.61 (0.06-1.00) to 0.68 (0.35-1.00) after 2.5 years (p = 0.035). We found no significant changes or differences in scotopic activity, whereas cone response and paramacular activity in the more peripheral region between 14 de
