ASA Therapy not always effective

Aspirin achieves its antithrombotic effect by permanently inactivating platelet cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, thus blocking TXA2 biosynthesis. While low-dose aspirin given once daily is known to inhibit platelet TXA2 biosynthesis by approximately 97 to 99% in healthy subjects, the same aspirin regimen is unable to fully inhibit platelet TXA2 production in approximately 80% of ET patients.

Low-dose aspirin is currently recommended for the primary or secondary prevention of atherothrombosis in ET, despite the lack of direct, randomized evidence for its efficacy and safety in this setting. The present results argue against the adequacy of a conventional aspirin regimen for a substantial proportion of ET patients and suggest the need of a properly sized, randomized trial testing the efficacy and safety of a twice daily regimen of antiplatelet prophylaxis. Although twice-daily dosing may reduce compliance as compared to a once-daily regimen, such an approach has been used successfully for stroke prevention in patients with cerebrovascular disease. We conclude that the abnormal magakaryopoiesis that characterizes ET is responsible for shorter lasting antiplatelet effects of low-dose aspirin through faster renewal of platelet COX-1. This abnormal biochemical and functional phenotype can be reverted to a normal pattern of platelet response by modulating the aspirin dosing interval but not the dose.

Plasmaphoresis is a process by which blood is passed through a medical device and the protein globulin portion of the plasma is removed or otherwise manipulated, with the remainder being returned to the patient.

Plasmaphoresis

Can be used to remove toxins, antibodies, or plasma components

May stop negative feedback loop

It has been hypothesized that the bulk removal of immunoglobulin

by plasmaphoresis might lead to the removal of negative feedback

on the antibody-producing cells.

Albumin is the major protein responsible for colloid osmotic pressure

    Albumin does not diffuse freely through intact vascular endothelium. Hence, it is the major protein providing the critical colloid osmotic or oncotic pressure that regulates passage of water and diffusable solutes through the capillaries. Albumin accounts for 70% of the colloid osmotic pressure. It exerts a greater osmotic force than can be accounted for solely on the basis of the number of molecules dissolved in the plasma, and for this reason it cannot be completely replaced by inert substances such as dextran.
