WCN25-2435 THERAPEUTIC PLASMA EXCHANGE (TPE) IN THE TREATMENT OF RENAL DISEASES: A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an apheresis technique involving extracorporeal removal of plasma from other components of blood, discarding and replacing plasma with physiological fluids. The ideal characteristics of a substance to be removed by TPE include large molecular weight, distribution in the intravascular space, and prolonged half-life, among others. TPE, by removing these pathogenic substances (autoantibodies, immune complexes), provides a therapeutic window for drugs to act, and has been used in many disorders either alone or in combination with other therapies.
