Therapeutic cytapheresis using the Fenwal CS-3000 blood cell separator. 1985

T A Steeper, and J A Smith, and J McCullough

20 patients, 16 with acute or chronic leukemia and 4 with thrombocytosis, underwent 47 therapeutic cytapheresis procedures using the Fenwal CS-3000 cell separator. 16 of the 20 patients had acute clinical signs or symptoms secondary to high circulating cell counts; 14 showed symptomatic improvement following cytapheresis. An average of 2.0 whole blood volumes was processed per procedure. A mean white cell reduction of 64% and a mean platelet reduction of 53% were obtained per procedure on patients with leukemia and thrombocytosis, respectively. Hemoglobin levels decreased an average of 1.3 g/dl. Therapeutic cytapheresis procedures in which more than 1.5 blood volumes were processed did not result in significant additional cytoreduction.

D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
