Therapeutic plasma exchange is expanding its importance in everyday clinical practice due to the wider range of diseases that are successfully treated with it.
This book explains basic principles of plasma exchange, as well as more advanced techniques (immunoadsorption, LDL apheresis). As immunosuppression is an important part of the complex treatment in plasma exchange, a special attention is paid to the concomitant use of immunosuppressive agents, including novel immunosuppressive medications.
It comprehensively demonstrates the indications for therapeutic plasma exchange in different spheres of medicine (e.g. nephrology, neurology, hematology, and rheumatology) and the current opinion on the effectiveness of the procedure in different diseases. The latest guidelines on plasma exchange, as well as the guidelines of different professional organizations (e.g. the American Society for Apheresis ASFA, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes KDIGO, American College of Rheumatology) are discussed.
Thus, the new book effectively upgrades the new achievements in plasma exchange on top of the previous knowledge on the procedure effectiveness.
The increasing role of plasma exchange in modern medicine requires a book, specifically designed to address all questions and further directions of development, associated with it, rather than a single chapter of a textbook.
This book is designed for improving the skills of nephrologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, hematologists and intensive care professionals in plasma exchange. Different aspects of its clinical use are covered, based on the latest guidelines in the field. Information is presented with uniformity of design and chapter structure.
