Plasmapheresis for neurological disorders
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 10/06/09

Schröder A et al. – PE has been applied successfully in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, paraproteinemic polyneuropathy, stiff person syndrome, and may also be tried in several diseases of paraneoplastic origin. In recent years, PE was also established as an escalation therapy for steroid–unresponsive relapses of multiple sclerosis, and thus has gained more widespread attention. Adding to its increasing application in clinical practice, the procedure is usually well tolerated. Possible adverse reactions mainly relate to vascular access, the use of replacement fluids and the need for anticoagulation.
