Objectives Several factors in double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) were associated with triglyceride (TG) clearance rate. This study examines whether baseline whole blood viscosity was a predictor for efficient TG removal. Methods Adult subjects who receiving DFPP for hyperlipidemia in Taoyuan Ge...
