Heterogeneity of the metabolic syndrome in diabetes mellitus serves as an indication for plasmapheresis in therapy of disease. The effect of plasmapheresis on the indices of carbohydrate, lipid metabolism and immune homeostasis was studied in 30 patients with primary diabetes mellitus. Microstructure of the surface of dried blood serum drops was investigated in parallel with it. The control group included 20 patients who were not given plasmapheresis and 20 healthy subjects. A positive effect of plasmapheresis on the above indices was observed. Its approximate effect on the patients blood serum composition was shown.
