Description
Yan Ouyang and co-authors study a blood-cleaning treatment for people whose blood grows too thick at high altitude, in a paper from 2024. Thin air makes the body build extra red cells, which can strain the kidneys. The treatment pulls out red cells while returning the rest of the blood. The team reviewed more than six hundred treated patients from 2017 to 2023.
After treatment, blood levels fell to a safer range and kidney function improved. A urine marker of kidney harm also cleared in most patients. Those who began with weaker kidneys gained the most ground. Patients who got the treatment more than once held steadier blood levels than those treated once. The authors say repeat sessions may suit some patients better. The work supports the treatment as a real-world aid for altitude illness.
