PUVA therapy in localized scleroderma.

متن کاملMicrovascular leakage of plasma proteins after PUVA and UVA.
The transcapillary escape rate of albumin (TERalb), i.e., the fraction of intravascular albumin mass passing to the extravascular space per unit time, is a parameter of the leakage of macromolecules from the total microvasculature. In patients with psoriasis short-term PUVA treatment induces an increase in TERalb. In this study TERalb was measured in 3 groups of normal humans treated with PUVA,...
