A Paradigm Shift in the Utilization of Therapeutic Plasmapheresis in Clinical Practice

1. Abstract Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE), frequently referred to as plasmapheresis. is an automated procedure which separates whole blood into plasma and blood cells. The plasma is discarded and replaced with physiologic fluids and returned to the patient along with the blood cells. Theoretically, any disease in which a humoral phase is implicated in the pathogenesis may be at least partially mitigated by removal of the patient’s plasma and replacement with physiologic solutions.
