Plasmapheresis is a treatment in which blood is removed, the plasma (liquid portion) is separated and cleaned of hazardous elements. After filtration, the blood cells are returned to the body.
For autoimmune diseases, plasmapheresis can reduce the level of harmful antibodies.
In cases of poisoning, it helps remove toxins.
The procedure usually takes 1 hour, and the frequency of sessions may vary depending on the condition being treated.
Plasmapheresis is generally safe, especially when done by experienced medical professionals. Some side effects like dizziness or low blood pressure can happen, but they are usually easy to manage.
