Therapeutic plasmaphereses using CS 3000 Fenwal Cell Separator were performed in 4 women and 2 men, aged between 17 and 44 years, with hepatic coma complicating acute viral hepatitis type B. One to four plasma exchanges per patient were performed, usually at the volume of 3000 ml per procedure. Two patients at II and IVa period of the coma, according to Aboun classification, survived. Four patients at II, III and two at III/IV period of the coma died. The authors suggest that in some cases exchange of large volumes of plasma in the treatment of hepatic coma complicating acute viral hepatitis may be a lifesaving procedure.
