Plasma Exchange

Plasma exchange, or plasmapheresis, is a medical procedure that involves removing a patient's blood plasma, which is the liquid part of blood, and replacing it with a substitute fluid or fresh plasma. This treatment is used to remove harmful substances, such as antibodies or toxins, that can cause diseases. It is commonly utilized for autoimmune diseases, certain neurological disorders, and other conditions where the body’s immune response is problematic. The process helps improve overall health by reducing disease-causing elements in the blood, allowing for better management of various medical conditions.
