Effect of plasmapheresis replacement fluid type on fibrinogen level

Study Overview

Brief Summary

Plasma exchange procedures remove procoagulant and anticoagulant factors. Every procedure increases the risk of bleeding and repeated procedures increase the risk of bleeding mostly because lower fibrinogen levels. The aim of study is to define coagulation status of patient after plasmapheresis with different laboratory tests and to investigate the possibility of fibrinogen concentrate replacement for the correction of induced coagulation disorder.

Arms & Interventions

Fibrinogen Treatment Group

Experimental

One calculated plasma volume will be replaced with a mixture of electrolyte replacement solution and albumin. Fibrinogen concentrate will be infused afterwards.

Intervention: Fibrinogen concentrate (Drug)

FFP Treatment Group

Active Comparator

One calculated plasma volume will be replaced with a mixture of electrolyte replacement solution, albumin and fresh frozen plasma.

Intervention: Fresh Frozen Plasma (Other)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Effect of plasmapheresis replacement fluid type on fibrinogen level

Time Frame: Right after every plasmapheresis session, during the whole plasmapheresis treatment (usually about 2 weeks)]

Change of fibrinogen level after plasmapheresis treatment depending on replacement fluid type

Secondary Outcomes

  • Effect on coagulation tests after plasmapheresis - ROTEM EXTEM(Right after every plasmapheresis session, during the whole plasmapheresis treatment (usually about 2 weeks)])
  • Effect on coagulation tests after plasmapheresis - ROTEM FIBTEM(Right after every plasmapheresis session, during the whole plasmapheresis treatment (usually about 2 weeks)])
