Therapeutic plasma exchange in Casablanca
Transfusion and Apheresis Science, 2008Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an extracorporeal blood purification method for the treatment of diseases in which pathological proteins have to be eliminated. In the aim to demonstrate our single center activity, we analyzed our data since 2 years.Between years 2002 and 2005, 104 TPE procedures were performed on 42 patients.

The Complications of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange
Vox Sanguinis, 1984AbstractWe reviewed a series of 181 patients who were treated with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) a total of 1,389 times. Complications were associated with 22 (1.6%) of the procedures and involved 20 (11%) of the patients. Six of the complications were of a technical nature and did not affect the medical conditions of the patients.

Therapeutic Plasmapheresis and Plasma Exchange
CRC Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 1986Plasma exchange is a process in which large volumes of plasma, usually equivalent to one plasma volume, are exchanged with donor plasma or a plasma substitute. This permits the removal of antibody, immune complexes, inflammatory mediators, paraproteins, drugs, toxins, and other plasma constituents.

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange: An Underutilized Therapeutic Modality?
Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2003Abstract: Since its clinical availability approximately 25 years ago, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has become recognized as appropriate primary therapy for many diverse medical conditions. In some aspects TPE has been constrained in its use according to schedules of efficacy.

Vascular Access for Therapeutic Plasma Exchange
Artificial Organs, 1994Abstract: Adequate venous access is an essential component of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPEX). The simplest kind of venous access is venipuncture of antecubital veins, but this technique may be limited by venous size or scarring following the procedure, requiring the placement of a specialized vascular access device (VAD).
