Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical effect of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) on 43 patients in the Three Gorges Area. METHODS: Plasma was collected by machine and combined with low-molecular-weight dextran and albumin for use as a replacement fluid for TPE treatment of 43 patients suffering from various blood disorders, diseases of the nervous system, ABO incompatible allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and kidney disease. RESULTS: The volume of a single TPE was 1.6-2.0l, performed on average 2.3 times/case, and effective in 88.4% (38/43) of cases. CONCLUSION: TPE through the plasma collection machine is a well tolerated, economic and effective treatment.
