Effectiveness of double-filtration plasmapheresis in reducing immunoglobulin and culprit antibody levels in neuroimmune disorders: A single-center retrospective analysis from China
Objective
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) in reducing immunoglobulins and culprit antibodies in neuroimmune disorders.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 51 patients with neuroimmune diseases treated with DFPP, immunotherapy, and symptomatic treatment. Immunoglobulin and antibody levels were measured pre- and post-treatment, along with neurological function assessments using scales like the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Clinical Assessment Scale for Autoimmune Encephalitis (CASE), and Myasthenia Gravis-specific scales.
Results
The cohort included patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), autoimmune encephalitis (AIE), myasthenia gravis (MG), anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated disease (MOGAD), and paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS). DFPP significantly reduced immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgA, IgM) by ∼70 %. Most patients showed decreased antibody titers and significant neurological improvement. The median mRS score improved from 2 (IQR 2–3) to 1 (IQR 1–2) post-treatment, with further improvement at 90 days. Notable improvements were observed across various scales specific to NMOSD, MOGAD, AIE, and MG. Minor adverse events were reported, with no serious adverse events.
Conclusions
DFPP is effective in reducing immunoglobulin and antibody levels, leading to improved neurological function in neuroimmune disorders. Further large-scale studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuroimmunology affords a forum for the publication of works applying immunologic methodology to the furtherance of the neurological sciences. Studies on all branches of the neurosciences, particularly fundamental and applied neurobiology, neurology, neuropathology, neurochemistry, neurovirology, neuroendocrinology, neuromuscular research, neuropharmacology and psychology, which involve either immunologic methodology (e.g. immunocytochemistry) or fundamental immunology (e.g. antibody and lymphocyte assays), are considered for publication.
