Plasmapheresis, a plasma exchange therapy, is increasingly used for various conditions, including in intensive care units. This review covers its principles, techniques, antibody removal methods, and potential complications.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Nephrology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Plasmapheresis utilization has expanded significantly over the last 15 years.
  • Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are increasingly candidates for plasmapheresis.
  • This procedure involves plasma exchange for therapeutic purposes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the fundamental principles and evolving techniques of plasmapheresis.
  • To discuss specific methods for antibody removal, such as immunoadsorption.
  • To outline practical considerations and potential complications associated with plasmapheresis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and clinical practices regarding plasmapheresis.
  • Discussion of technical aspects including vascular access and anticoagulation.
