简介:摘要目的比较激素免疫抑制剂及其联合血浆置换治疗抗中性粒细胞胞质抗体(ANCA)相关性血管炎(AAV)的疗效。方法选取AAV患者30例,其中15例患者单采用激素免疫抑制剂进行治疗归为对照组,另15例患者给予激素免疫抑制剂联合血浆置换治疗归为观察组,比较两组的疗效。结果两组患者治疗后ANCA、Scr水平及BVAS评分较治疗前显著降低,且治疗后观察组患者的ANCA、Scr水平及BVAS评分明显低于对照组,P<0.05,差异具有统计学意义。两组患者治疗前后BUN水平均无明显差异,不良反应发生率也无明显差异,P>0.05,差异无统计学意义。治疗3个月后,观察组中仍需长期血液透析治疗的患者所占比率明显低于对照组,P<0.05,差异具有统计学意义。结论激素免疫抑制剂联合血浆置换治疗AAV的疗效优于单使用激素免疫抑制剂,可有效改善患者肾功能,值得推广应用。
