Summary

This study looked at a blood-filtering procedure called double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) in 5 kidney dialysis patients with very high levels of lipoprotein(a), a fatty substance linked to heart disease and blood clots. The treatment aimed to lower these levels and was done repeatedly. The results may help manage heart risks in similar patients, but more research is needed.
