✦ Synopsis

A retrospective study was carried out on 2,500 therapeutic hemapheresis procedures performed at a community teaching hospital from 1980 to 1990. Seventy-six percent of the procedures consisted of plasmapheresis (PE). The most frequently treated conditions were myasthenia gravis (MG), Guillain-BarrC syndrome (GB), hyperviscosity (HV), and thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP). Therapeutic results and clinical implications for these four conditions are discussed.
