Post Approval Study for Treatment of Drug-resistant Adult and Pediatric Primary FSGS Using the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System

"LIPOSORBER® LA-15 is a blood purification therapy; selectively removes apoprotein B-containing lipoproteins such as LDL from circulating blood and rapidly reduces the plasma cholesterol level. It was originally developed for prevention of coronary atherosclerosis progression in patients with serious hyperlipidemia such as familial hypercholesterolemia.~In the late 1980's, LDL-A was used to improve dyslipidemia in Nephrotic Syndrome, initially to prevent organ damage. LDL-A was found to improve both the dyslipidemic condition and clinical symptoms (proteinuria and hypoproteinemia)."
