Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has been used as a treatment modality in many autoimmune disorders, including neurological conditions, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). The American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) publishes its guidelines on the use of therapeutic apheresis every 3 years based on published evidence to assist physicians with both the medical and technical aspects of apheresis consults. The ASFA Guidelines included the use of TPE in both GBS and CIDP as an acceptable first-line therapy, either alone and/or in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities. In this article, we briefly reviewed GBS and CIDP, discussed the role of apheresis in these conditions as well as various technical aspects of the TPE procedure, such as apheresis calculation, number of volume exchange, replacement fluid, and management of potential complications.
