Background Recently, granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis (GCAP) has been
shown to be safe and effective for active ulcerative colitis (UC). We analyzed the safety and …

Active ulcerative colitis (UC) is frequently associated with infiltration of a large number of
leukocytes into the bowel mucosa. Therefore, removal of activated circulating leukocytes by …

Corticosteroid therapy of ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with frequent adverse side
effects and poor quality of life. Recently, adsorptive granulocyte and monocyte/macrophage …

Background: Despite the mounting importance of granulocytapheresis (GCAP) for
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment, its effectiveness in steroid-dependent (SD) and …

AIM: To study the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of a granulocyte adsorptive type apheresis
system for the treatment of patients with chronically active ulcerative colitis despite standard …

Aim: To evaluate granulocytapheresis (GCAP) in active ulcerative colitis (UC), with particular
attention to the long‐term effects of such treatment. Methods: We included 80 patients with …

OBJECTIVES: Granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) has shown efficacy in
patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC). However, with routine weekly treatment, it may …

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine whether selective adsorptive
granulocyte and monocyte apheresis (GMA apheresis) using the Adacolumn® device can …

Background & Aims: Active ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by infiltration of activated
granulocytes and monocytes/macrophages (GM) within the large bowel mucosa. GM are …

Background Safe and effective treatments are required for patients with ulcerative colitis. It
was suggested that granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis might play an important …
