    This study reports on 49 plasma exchanges in 14 patients, demonstrating successful antibody removal and clinical benefits. The modified technique safely removed antibodies, even in complex cases, offering hope for various medical conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Nephrology
    • Hematology

    Context:

    • Plasma exchange is a therapeutic apheresis technique.
    • Antibody removal is crucial in transplantation and autoimmune diseases.

    Purpose:

    • To report experience with plasma exchange using the Aminco cellseparator.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of antibody removal via plasma exchange.

    Summary:

    • 49 plasma exchanges were performed in 14 patients using the Aminco cellseparator.
    • Indications included ABO-barrier before bone marrow transplantation, renal transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases, and other conditions.
    • A modified technique allowed routine exchange of 1.2L of plasma in 4 hours with minimal side effects, achieving complete antibody removal and clinical improvement.
