TPE is used in the treatment of various autoimmune diseases, conditions that cause the body to recognize a part of itself as foreign and generate proteins (called autoantibodies) that attack part of the body. These proteins are found in the plasma component of blood.
The goal of TPE is to remove large amounts of disease-causing agents, such as these antibodies, that attack the body and cause symptoms.
Plasma exchange takes a few more steps:
- Providers insert a needle or intravenous line into your arm or central line catheter.
- They gradually remove small amounts of blood.
- They use a machine to separate your plasma from your blood.
- They discard your plasma.
- They combine your blood with fluid, sometimes adding a protein called albumin, and return your blood to you via intravenous line or central line catheter.
