From plasmapheresis to selective apheresis: the evolution
Plasma exchange has evolved significantly over the years into a range of selective apheresis techniques. These approaches use advanced filters and sorbent technologies that are now well known in nephrology.
As a result, nephrologists are increasingly involved in the management of therapeutic apheresis.
Today, therapeutic apheresis is used across multiple specialties, including neurology, nephrology, and rheumatology.
In this short overview, we will introduce the main techniques currently available, such as double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP), rheopheresis, immunoadsorption, and bilirubin adsorption—along with practical insights into their clinical use.
