[The use of plasmosorption on SKN IK sorbent in a severe course of leptospirosis].

Abstract

In severe course of icterohemorrhagic form leptospirosis presenting with an acute renal-hepatic insufficiency and manifest hypocoagulation (BC II-III), plasmasorption on the sorbent SKN [correction of CKH] IK with carboperfusion of 0.8-1.2 1 plasma appears to be warranted. Being endowed with an apparent detoxicating effect at the expense of absorbtion of creatinin, urea bilirubin, this manipulation, with small doses of heparin, promotes also stabilization of hemostasis and arresting of hypocoagulation, which fact enhances appreciably the compensatory power of the organism improving the prognosis of the condition.
