Idiopathic sudden hearing loss (ISHL) has been suggested to
precipitate
as final common pathway of microcirculatory impairment of the inner
ear
associated with a variety of etiologies and characterized by a local
hyperviscosity syndrome in cochlear vessels.
Therefore, we investigated the effect of Rheopheresis, a method of
therapeutic apheresis reducing plasma viscosity and improving
microcirculation on hearing recovery.
Patients were randomly assigned to receive two Rheopheresis
treatments,
or treatment according to current German guidelines consisting either
of i.v.
corticosteroids (methylprednisolon 250 mg for 3 days and subsequent
oral
dosing with tapering to zero) or i.v. hemodilution (500 mL 6%
hydroxyethyl
starch plus 600 mg pentoxifylline per day), each applied for 10 days.
The primary outcome parameter was absolute recovery of hearing as
measured by pure tone audiometry 10 days after the start of
treatment.
Secondary outcomes were recovery of hearing at day 42, the
improvement
of speech audiometry, tinnitus and feeling of pressure and the
frequency
of adverse events.
In total, 240 patients with sudden hearing loss were enrolled from
otorhinolaryngological departments at hospitals as well as out-
patient
clinics in Germany.
Analysis was performed for the intention-to-treat as well as per
protocol
population.
Mean absolute recovery of hearing on day 10 within the intention-to-
treat
population (ITT, n = 193) was 23.95 dB (SD 15.05) in the Rheopheresis
group and 24.29 dB (SD 15.48) in the control group.
Equal efficacy of Rheopheresis and tested standard treatments was
demonstrated (P = 0.00056).
Single Rheopheresis led to a higher recovery of hearing after 48 h in
patients with high plasma viscosity (>1.8 mPas s; P = 0.029) or high
total
protein (>74 g/dL; P = 0.02).
However, an overall good recovery of ISHL was observed with none of
the
tested therapies being superior regarding the primary outcome
parameter.
Improvement of health-related quality of life as documented by the
SF36 was
higher in the Rheopheresis group, exhibiting a significant difference
for the
physical summary scale at the final follow-up at day 42 (P = 0.006).
In conclusion, Rheopheresis proved to be an effective treatment option
within
the ENT armamentarium for ISHL.
Two Rheopheresis treatments within 3 days lasting for about 2 h each
could
be used to replace a 10-day infusion regimen, especially in patients
who
desire fast recovery from acute hearing loss.
Also, this may be a second line treatment option for patients
refractory to
i.v. corticosteroids or hemodilution.

I'm not sure whether you understand how usenet works.
IF you have a question or a remark to make on a thread in
Usenet you INCLUDE the medical study / post WITH your
remark or question.
You try your hardest not to 'snip the post' .. as internet jargon ..
goes.
As to your question .. ?
Treatment is blood thinning .. it seems ..
You need to know .. more .. ?
Why's that ..
You some kinda researcher .. pharmaceutical developer .. ?
Why do you NEED to know what causes the hyperviscosity .. ?

I believe the homosexuality and coprophagia and
predation atheists promote is abnormal and repugnant.
Atheists believe homosexual and coprophagist
and predation propensities are not abnormal.
I wonder whether everyone agrees with you atheists ?
You atheists have gotten homosexuality decriminalized.
You are still working on coprophagia.
Predation .. I don't think you will be able to legalize.
Therefore I must tell you ..

Gott r�t, T�chter der Feinde zu vergewaltigen
5. Buch Mose, Kapitel 2
"Wenn du siegst im Feindesstreit,
weil der Herr dich liebt,
sei zu folgendem bereit,
weil's dein Gott dir gibt:
Findest du ein sch�nes Weib
deren Eltern tot,
und begehrst du ihren leib,
ende ihre Not.
Nimm sie zu dir in dein Haus,
schere ihre Haare,
zieh ihr die Klamotten aus,
wenn sie gute Ware."
