Leukocytapheresis therapy for steroid‐naïve patients with active ulcerative colitis: Its clinical efficacy and adverse effects compared with those of conventional steroid therapy

Abstract

The results of this study suggest that the efficacy and safety of LCAP are equivalent, and in terms of severe adverse effects, superior to those of steroid therapy. LCAP therapy may thus be a promising candidate therapy for steroid-naïve patients with active UC.
