SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The growing number of anecdotal reports on the effect of plasmapheresis in patients with active SLE suggests that plasmapheresis, particularly in combination with cytotoxic drugs, merits further exploration as a therapeutic modality.

Plasmapheresis for neurological disorders
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2009Apheresis is a general term that describes removal of abnormal blood constituents by extracorporeal blood purification methods. To date, therapeutic plasma exchange (PE) is the most common apheresis procedure. Here, plasma is separated from corpuscular blood constituents and replaced with a substitution fluid.

Plasmapheresis has been applied over the last several decades as primary or adjunctive treatment for a number of primary renal diseases and systemic conditions with renal involvement. The present review discusses renal conditions for which plasmapheresis may be attempted with recommendations based on evidence from the literature.

Plasmapheresis in Hyperviscosity Syndrome
Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1985ABSTRACT Three patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia developed circulatory complications due to increased plasma viscosity, i.e relative viscosity value above 4. Plasmapheresis was performed either in a Haemonetics 30 S cell separator, by plasma filtration through a CPS 10 TM filter or by a double‐double pack Fenwal® system.

Abstract. Manual plasmapheresis is done worldwide on both paid donors, and to a much smaller extent on volunteer donors in order to generate source plasma to be fractionated into albumin, clotting factor concentrates, and gamma globulin. Automated technology has now been developed utilizing both centrifugal, and membrane separation devices (Haemonetics

Plasmapheresis in a Patient With Scleromyxedema
Archives of Dermatology, 1987We describe a patient with progressive scleromyxedema who failed to respond to previously described treatment modalities. A trial of plasmapheresis was initiated, but after an initial promising response, his disease continued to progress. The skin involvement appeared to progress even more rapidly after the plasmapheresis was discontinued.

Plasmapheresis in the Dysproteinemias
Therapeutic Apheresis, 2002Abstract: The dysproteinemias consist of a broad range of serious disease states with the common thread of excessive production of an abnormal, or para‐protein. Various clinical syndromes may arise, either from the underlying disease process, the excess paraprotein, or both.

Plasmapheresis in nephrology: an update
Current Opinion in Nephrology & Hypertension, 2006In the past, recommendations for the use of plasmapheresis were based on findings reported from pilot studies or anecdotes. New results from several randomized controlled trials have changed the indications for the use of plasma exchange.A large randomized controlled study of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis ...

Plasmapheresis is the process by which plasma containing components causing or thought to cause disease is removed from the circulation, and the remaining blood components are returned with plasma or a harmless plasma substitute to the donor. It primarily removes protein-bound solutes or high-molecular-weight solutes such as circulating protein-bound ...

Volume Limitations of Plasmapheresis
Vox Sanguinis, 1977Abstract. The published specifications of the acceptable limits of the maximum plasma volume to be ‘harvested’ by plasmapheresis from one individual per year vary from 10–15 liters in Europe to 50–60 liters in the United States. To answer the question which of these widely diverging precepts is appropriate, the effects of plasmapheresis on serum ...
