“…Numerous recent reviews and research articles have shown the benefit of TPE in different neurological diseases in both adults and children [3,4]. In neurological diseases such as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (Guillain-Barré syndrome; GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, myasthenia gravis (MG) and paraneoplastic encephalopathies, TPE is accepted as firstline therapy, either as a primary standalone treatment or combined with other treatments.…”

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is increasingly used throughout the medical field. We aimed to analyze the various aspects of TPE practices at our hospital in terms of clinical indications, technical feasibility, safety, outcome as well as complications associated with the procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data included demographic profiles, clinical parameters, and technical characteristics of each TPE procedure. All the information was noted in data spread sheet (Microsoft Excel 2013) for further analysis. RESULTS: This is a 3-year retrospective study of total 266 TPE procedures carried out on 92 patients with different clinical conditions. Out of them, 55 (59.8%) were male and 37 (40.2%) were female patients. There were six major categories such as (1) neurological, (2) hematological, (3) gastrological, (4) renal, (5) rheumatic, and (6) others. The TPE treatment was highest in neurology group (60.2%), followed by gastrology group (24.4%). Most of the procedures (82.6%) were according to the American society of apheresis 2016 I or II categories (76/92 patients). CONCLUSION: TPE is beneficial and used as primary or secondary adjunctive therapy for a wide spectrum of various diseases and syndromes. TPE is considered as safe, cost-effective, and life-saving treatment modality in various diseases.
