Plasma is the fluid part of the blood that does not contain cells and it allows the circulation of red blood cell, white blood cell and platelets. It contains chemicals like hormones and vitamins, and makes chemical communication among different organs. In certain conditions or diseases, plasma contains protein or chemicals (so called Antibodies) that are harmful and may be causing the disease. Removing plasma and replacing it with Albumin or plasma from a healthy donor will be part of treatment.
Plasmapheresis (plasma exchange) is done to remove plasma from someone’s blood and replace it with either Albumin or plasma from a healthy donor.
To refer a patient for plasmapheresis (plasma exchange) or RBC exchange, call Loma Linda Nephrology Faculty Office
