DOUBLE FILTRATION PLASMAPHERESIS IN THE SYMPTOMATIC HYPERVISCOSITY RELATED TO WALDENSTROMS MACROGLOBULINEMIA

Hyperviscosity syndrome (HVS) in Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare life-threatening complication due to increased plasma viscosity, typically associated with monoclonal IgM. Guidelines of the American Society for Apheresis (ASFA 2016) recommends Plasmapheresis as first-line therapy in the symptomatic HVS and the prophylaxis for Rituximab with grade of evidence 1B and 1C, respectively. We used Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) as semi-ive plasmapheresis technique to treat HVS in WM, because it is safer than plasma-exchange (not ive). A problem of DFPP is the loss of useful substances like fibrinogen; infact an important loss of fibrinogen increased hemorragic risk. In this study, we evaluated the percentage of reduction of immunoglobulins and the more significant factor involved in the reduction of fibrinogen.
