  • Patent number: 11806459
    Abstract: This invention teaches a targeted apheresis method of treating a pregnant woman with preeclampsia, or who is predisposed to developing preeclampsia, utilizing immobilized binding agents contained within an apheresis device to remove sVEGFR-1 and sVEGFR-2, and one or more other harmful factors associated with preeclampsia selected from a list that includes: sEndoglin, Endothelin-1, TNF, IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, IL-18, digitalis-like factor, ouabain-like factor, marinobufagenin, .marinobufotoxenin, and telocinobufagin.
