Therapeutic Apheresis

Therapeutic apheresis is a medical procedure that removes specific components of blood to treat certain conditions. During the process, a patient's blood is drawn, and a machine separates it into its parts, such as plasma or blood cells. The targeted component—like harmful antibodies or excess white blood cells—is removed, and the remaining blood is returned to the patient. This procedure can help manage various diseases, such as autoimmune disorders or blood disorders, by reducing harmful substances in the bloodstream, improving health and alleviating symptoms.
