Therapeutic apheresis is a treatment option for several subspecialities. It is a relatively expensive intervention, which can only be done by dedicated centers based on specific indications. The Therapeutic Apheresis Committee and the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary jointly control the number of interventions to be made, the introduction of new diagnoses and the application of new apheresis procedures in Hungary. In this work, we review the therapeutic practice of the period between 2013 and 2017 in Hungary, describing also the new modalities under implementation. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(19): 727-738.

Immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM) can be associated with autoantibodies to 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR). We present a case of a man in his 60s with a 13-year history of relapsing anti-HMGCR-positive IMNM, intermittently partially responsive to various treatments including corticosteroids, methotrexate, mycophenolate, intravenous immunoglobulin, abatacept and rituximab. After a repeat presentation with severe weakness, plasmapheresis was commenced, resulting in rapid and significant improvement in muscle strength and biochemical markers, which was sustained for several months.

Background: Metastatic spine tumor surgery (MSTS) is often complex and extensive leading to significant blood loss. Allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) is the mainstay of blood replenishment but with immune-mediated postoperative complications. Alternative blood management techniques (salvaged blood transfusion [SBT]) allow us to overcome such complications.
