STEREO: a program on a PC-Windows 95 platform for recording and evaluating quantitative stereologic investigations of multistage hepatocarcinogenesis in rodents

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a treatment modality used in a variety of disease states, some of which are characterized by renal involvement (i.e., primary and secondary rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, myeloma nephropathy, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome). The aim of this review was to summarize the results of clinical studies that evaluated TPE efficacy in some renal diseases, and to give general guidelines for treatment strategies in specific renal diseases.
