The aim of this study is to determine by mathematical analysis which of two models, the one- or the two-compartment model, more closely approximates the kinetics of anti-dsDNA following immunoadsorption procedures in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Titers of anti-dsDNA were measured at specified intervals after apheresis to each model by nonlinear least-squares methods, and Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) was calculated to determine which model most approximately described the kinetics. The AIC of the two-compartment model was larger than that of the one-compartment model in all 14 SLE patients (P < .001). Therefore, the one-compartment model is thought to be suitable. The generation rate and catabolic rate of anti-dsDNA were obtainable using this model. The anti-dsDNA replenishment curve after an immunoadsorption session was defined by only two parameters: the generation and catabolic rates of anti-dsDNA.
