Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment by the manual plasma filtration in myasthenia gravis patients.
Subject and Methods: 44 patients who have been treated at Hospital 103 from 2010 to 2015, have been diagnosed as myasthenia gravis. Patients were treated by the manual plasma filtration method during seven days, tested at the time before and after the end of the filtration process, assessing the change in clinical symptoms and some hematological and biochemical indexos.
Results: The rate of improvement of clinical symptoms was highest (≥84.1%), the rate of unimproved cases was very low (≤4.5%). Changes in hematological and biochemical indexes were not significant with p>0.05.
Conclusion: The manual plasma filtration have high effect in myasthenia gravis.
