Therapeutic plasmapheresis is a method of extracorporeal hemocorrection based on the replacement of the patient’s blood plasma with components, blood products and (or) blood substitutes.
The mechanism of the therapeutic action of plasmapheresis (PA):
- The method is based on the universal capabilities of PA, which make it possible to effectively remove all substrates present in the plasma, regardless of their degree of hydrophilicity, molecular weight, and the presence and magnitude of an electric charge. Such a powerful systemic effect on homeostasis can significantly reduce the severity of the so-called syndrome of endogenous intoxication and provide "prosthetics" of the functions of vital organs and systems.

The result of preliminary hemodilution, exfusion of part of the whole blood, contact interactions with blood-conducting materials, deplasmation and subsequent reinfusion of cellular elements, the introduction of blood substitutes and stabilizers of the aggregate state of the blood are numerous corrective and normalizing effects on:
- microcirculation status,
- quantitative composition and degree of activity of immunocompetent cells,
- elimination of the blockade of the macrophage system,
- release of formed elements from products adsorbed on their surface,
- the condition of the complement system,
- the ratio of pro- and antioxidants, hormonal, lipid spectrum, etc.
- The most important component of the mechanism of therapeutic action of PA is a powerful stimulation of the interchange of water sectors of the body, naturally leading to a redistribution of the content of various substrates in organs and tissues.
Effects of therapeutic plasmapheresis:
- Detoxification: elimination of pathogenetically significant substances, “unblocking” of biological systems of natural detoxification
- Rheocorrection: decrease in blood viscosity, increase in the plasticity of blood cells, decrease in their number and decrease in aggregation.
- Immunocorrection: elimination of Ag, Ab, CEC, stimulation of phagocytic activity of leukocytes

An absolute contraindication to PA is the terminal state of the patient.
Relative contraindications include:
- surgical bleeding;
- the presence of potential sources of bleeding (ulcers, erosion, tumors of the digestive tract, lung damage);
