Urgent therapeutic plasma exchange
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a well-established therapeutic procedure commonly used in many disorders of autoimmune etiology. The beneficial effects of TPE occur through the removal of pathognomonic inflammatory mediators; including autoantibodies, complement components, and cytokines. The use of TPE in the emergency setting is limited to a few

Plasma exchange with a rotating filter
We have modified a rotating filter system to provide therapeutic plasma exchange. Seventeen patients underwent 188 treatments. Blood flows to the filter ranged from 75 to 100 ml/min; mean filtration fraction was 64 +/- 1% (+/- SE, N = 188). Mean plasma removal rate per treatment was 40.2 +/- 0.6 ml/min; net plasma removed per treatment was 3231 +/- 53 ...

The mechanisms of action of plasma exchange [PDF]
SummaryThe initial description of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in an animal model was published almost 100 years ago. Since that time, this treatment has been applied to a wide variety of diseases but limited research has been published examining the mechanisms of action of TPE.
