Abstract

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), a form of extracorporeal therapy, has been used in the management of many systemic conditions some of which include the systemic vasculitides that affect the kidneys. The following is a mini review of what is known about renal related indications for TPE in such conditions and the evidence based literature available as presented at the Therapeutic Apheresis Academy in September 2010.
