Abstract
Three dogs were evaluated for severe hyperproteinemia and hyperglobulinemia secondary to. Double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) was performed in two dogs at days 1, 2, and 6 after presentation. The third dog received DFPP at days 1 and 3 after presentation and eleven hemodialysis treatments. Significant reduction in serum total protein (＜ 0.0001), alpha-1 (= 0.023), alpha-2 (= 0.018), gamma globulins (= 0.0105), and a significant increase in albumin/globulin ratio (= 0.0018) were found. DFPP may be a promising therapeutic technique for rapid resolution of signs of hyperproteinemia in dogs affected by.
