Plasmapheresis can be utilized as an adjunct to other methods to desensitize highly-sensitized potential renal transplant recipients or in the case of potential renal transplant recipients with ABO incompatible donors an...

In clinical practice, plasmapheresis is utilized to remove circulating immune complexes, endotoxins and high molecular weight molecules such as lipoproteins containing cholesterol. It is useful in certain diseases in rhe...

Plasmapheresis is an extracorporeal procedure, which is often employed to rapidly lower circulating titers of autoantibodies, immune complexes or toxins. There are two types of plasmapheresis namely, regular plasmapheres...

OBJECTIVE: Chronic antibody mediated rejection (CAMR) is a major therapeutic challenge for achieving long-term graft survival; treatment options are limited to several anti-humoral interventions. MATERIAL and METHODS:...

Plasmapheresis is a method of cleaning the high molecular weight solutes such as immune complexes, protein-bound toxins, autoantibodies, cryoglobulins, myeloma light chains, and endotoxins from the extracorporeal blood p...

In recent years, there are increasing number of sensitized patients waiting for renal transplantation (RTx) who are donor specifi c antibody (DSA) positive and lymphocyte crossmatch (LCM) negative. In this study, we pres...

Acute humoral rejection (AHR) is a rare event; however it can potentially lead to graft loss in up 40% of cases after 1 year of transplantation. A number of features like re-transplantation, ABO incompatibility and posit...

Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis) is a treatment method based on separating the plasma, one of the 4 components, from whole blood removed from the body and giving the remaining part back to the circulation with replacemen...

OBJECTIVE: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has been used in many diseases as primary or adjunctive therapy. We present our TPE experience in a pediatric nephrology practice setting. MATERIAL and METHODS: We retrospe...
