The project will determine the advantages of double erythrocytapheresis in the collection of preoperative autologous erythrocytes as compared to the standard collections of whole blood. The study will assess the total reduction in the number of procedures required to obtain the preoperative units ordered by the surgeon. Also, successfulness of erythrocytaphereses versus classical whole blood collection for these patients will be compared.
In this project we plan to evaluate the effectiveness of erythrocytapheresis against phlebotomy, both regarding the impact on the reduction in iron overload as well as reduction in patient "burden". Aspects of cost effectiveness will be included in the final analysis. Results of the study would allow decision-making based on Evidence Based Medicine on the "best" therapeutic options available for newly-diagnosed as well as existing primary hemochromatosis patients.

Fluid management study in patients with insulin resistance.
This study is being conducted to investigate whether in childhood salmeterol/ fluticasone propionate 50/100 bd delivered via the Diskus® inhaler and fluticasone propionate 200 mcg bd delivered via the Diskus® inhaler are non- inferior in terms of symptom control. Additionally we aim to show that salmeterol/ fluticasone propionate 50/100 bd is at least as good in terms of lung function improvement and bronchial hyperreactivity and enables a steroid-sparing management of asthma in children.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that sevelamer hydrochloride is non-inferior to calcium acetate for the treatment of hyperphosphataemia in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis.
