Mean blood pressure, hematocrit, and platelet counts in women treated with apheresis (n=11)
| Mean ±SD | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline | Pretreatmenta | Post-treatmenta | |
| Systolic BP (mmHg) | 161±11 | 165±18 | 149±14 |
| Diastolic BP (mmHg) | 101±9 | 105±10 | 96±10 |
| Hematocrit (%) | 36±3 | 36±3 | 34±3 |
| Platelets (×103/µl) | 198±47 | 188±61 | 182±55 |
Systolic BP, diastolic BP, hematocrit, and platelet values for patients treated more than once were averaged over all treatments.
