Plasmakudoksiin

Plasmakudoksiin, also known as plasma exchange, is a medical procedure used to treat certain conditions by removing and replacing a portion of the patient's plasma with fresh plasma. Plasma is the liquid component of blood that contains proteins, antibodies, and other substances necessary for blood clotting and immune function. In plasmakudoksiin, a machine called an apheresis machine is used to separate the plasma from the red blood cells and other components of the blood. The plasma is then either discarded or treated with medications, and fresh plasma is infused back into the patient's bloodstream.

Plasmakudoksiin is commonly used to treat conditions such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), autoimmune disorders, and certain types of cancer. It can also be used to remove toxins or medications from the bloodstream. The procedure is typically performed in a hospital setting and is usually well-tolerated by patients. However, like any medical procedure, it carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and allergic reactions to the infused plasma.

The frequency and duration of plasmakudoksiin treatments vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient's response to the therapy. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired effect. After the procedure, patients are usually monitored for a short period to ensure they are tolerating the treatment well and to address any potential complications.
