[Apheresis in severe hypercholesterolaemia]
[Article in Norwegian]

BACKGROUND: Hypercholesterolaemia is usually successfully
treated with statins but in some cases the medication has
insufficient cholesterol-lowering effect or is not well
tolerated. In these instances LDL apheresis is an option.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We share some of our own experience
with this treatment and then review the literature regarding
LDL apheresis. RESULTS: LDL apheresis seems a safe and
effective way of lowering LDL cholesterol. Mortality and
morbidity is reduced in selected patient groups. Quite
probably, too few Norwegian patients are offered this
treatment. INTERPRETATION: LDL apheresis should be available
in all health regions of Norway and the treatment should be
known to all those who treat severe hypercholesterolaemia or
coronary artery disease.
