plasmapheresis

Plasmapheresis is used to remove antibodies from the bloodstream, thereby preventing them from attacking their targets. It does notdirectly affect the immune system's ability to make more antibodies, and therefore may only offer temporary benefit. This procedure is mostuseful in acute, selflimited disorders such as GuillainBarré syndrome, or when chronic disorders, such as myasthenia gravis
