Abstract:
:The role of leukapheresis was explored in the management of anaemia and thrombocytopenia complicating the accumulation of lymphoid cells in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and lymphoma. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of this procedure in correcting these complicating features and to assess the length of response and the clinical well being of the patients. Twenty such patients with either chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or lymphocytic lymphoma were studied using a Continuous Flow Cell Separator (Aminco Celltrifuge). All had persistent significant anaemia and/or thrombocytopenia prior to the institution of leukapheresis. The procedure was carried out on alternate days until significant reduction in total circulating lymphoid cells had been achieved, an average of 2.9 x 10(11) cells being removed on each occasion. Thirteen of the twenty patients showed a significant elevation of both haemoglobin and platelet level concomitant with reduction in lymphoid cells. A reduction in organomegaly was also observed. These patients were classified as "responders," but the other patients failed to show correction of the haematologic parameters. This procedure permitted a number of responder patients to receive more specific treatment but in some it obviated the necessity for any further management for up to 12 months. Surface marker studies were also carried out on the lymphocytes of these patients. The patients who showed the best response to leukapheresis had cells characteristic of those seen in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The reduction of cells (82%) was greater in those who responded to this treatment than in the non-responder group (72%). The procedure was well tolerated by all patients and overall provided a long-term control of disease which outweighed the initial cost incurred.
