This study aimed to assess blood parameter alterations during extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) treatment. The results showed a significant decrease in erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and leukocytes after one ECP procedure, which persisted over time. Pathological decline in hemoglobin was observed in a higher proportion of patients after 6 and 12 months of ECP. Red blood cell volume and hematocrit were also decreased, and lymphocyte count further declined after 9 and 12 months of ECP. Coagulation parameters did not change significantly during ECP treatment.
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is considered a safe treatment modality. We aimed to assess blood parameters including coagulation during ECP over time. We performed a long-term retrospective single-center chart review (laboratory parameters) of adult patients (n = 172) who had received ECP for any indication. We observed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and leukocytes compared to baseline levels after only one ECP procedure. This decrease persisted after 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months of ECP. A significant pathological decline of hemoglobin was observed in a higher proportion (26.4% and 25.2%, respectively) of patients after 6 (p = 0.0007) and 12 (p = 0.012) months of ECP. Mean corpuscular volume as well as hematocrit was significantly decreased at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months of evaluation compared to baseline (p < 0.05). After 9 and 12 months of ECP we observed a further decline in lymphocyte counts (p < 0.05). Various coagulation parameters did not change significantly during ECP treatment. Even though not all alterations observed in peripheral blood of ECP patients in the present study were of clinical significance, risk for developing persistent anemia must be considered in patients undergoing ECP.
