Therapeutic Apheresis
Inside the black box
• Apheresis is a process by which blood
being removed from a subject is
continuously speparated into component
parts, usually to allow a desired
component(s) to be retained while the
remainder is returned to the subject
• Plasmapheresis from greek apairesos or
Roman aphairesis meaning to take away
by force
History of Apheresis
History
• Earliest continuous flow centrifugation
device was hand cranked cream separator
in 1877 by Dr. Carl Gustav Patrik De Laval
• Applications of flow centrifugation in:
– Petroleum industry (separate impurities)
– Nuclear fuels (separate uranium isotopes)
– Waste management (separate solid and liquid
wastes)
History
• Plasmapheresis (removal of plasma with
return of RBC) first performed 1914 John
Abel at Johns Hopkins University in a dog
in context of artificial kidney research
History
• Developed manual plasmapheresis where
blood drawn from donor (vein then kept
open by IV saline)
• Centrifuge blood in blood bank
• RBC then reinfused with saline
• Plasma stored for use
• Major method of collecting source plasma
from paid donors until early 1980’s
History
• 1959 Skoog and Adams used manual
plasmapheresis in patient with
Waldenstrom’s to reduce serum viscosity
• Followed by use in treatment of Rh
sensitized pregnant women to prevent
hemolytic disease of newborn with
variable outcomes
History
• Earliest work in early 1950’s by Dr. Edwin
Cohn at Harvard
– Devised fractionation scheme for plasma and
important in providing albumin for WWII
– Developed the Cohn centrifuge in response to
need for cellular components that might be
needed in event of nuclear war
– Blood into conical centrifugal separation
chamber
History
• 1962 IBM engineer son dx with CML
• Together with Dr. Emil Freireich and IBM
developed NCI-IBM (2990) at National
Cancer Institute
• Initially process 11L of blood from CML
patients for leukopheresis
• 1964 studies on CLL patient leukopheresis
• 1969 1st automated plasma exchange
procedures
Principle of Operation
Principle of Operation
• Blood reaching equilibrium after application of
centrifugal force:
Plasma (1.025-1.029 specific gravity)
Platelet (1.040)
Mononuclear (lymph, mono, PBSC,blast)
(1.070)
Granulocyte (neut, baso, eos) (1.087)
Neocyte RBC
RBC (1.093-1.096)
Principle of Operation
• Intermittent flow
– Blood processed in discrete batches
– Separation until container filled with dense
component (RBC)
– Needs to empty before next batch
• Continuous flow
– All fractions can be removed in ongoing
manner
• Do not need to empty container until end of
procedure

Physiology of Apheresis
Effectiveness of TPE depends on:
• Volume of plasma removed relative to total
plasma volume
• Distribution of substance to be removed
– Between intra and extravascular
compartments
• Speed at which the substance equilibrates
between compartments
• Rate at which substance is synthesized
• Mathematical models used to predict TPE
outcome assume the intravascular plasma
volume is a closed compartment
• Also assumes that steady state between
synthesis and catabolism is not altered
during TPE
• The equation that describes the removal of a
substance in PLEX is:
Y = Y0e-x
Y = final concentration
Y0 = initial concentration
e = base of natural logarithms (2.718…..)
X = number of times patient’s total plasma volume
is exchanged
• Assumes no equilibration with
extravascular stores
• Assumes no further substance is produced
• Predicts 37% of substance remains at end
of 1 plasma volume exchange
• 22% remaining after 1.5 PV exchange
• 14% remaining after 2.0 PV exchange

One plasma volume exchange:
• IgG drops to 34% of baseline
• IgA drops to 39% of baseline
• IgM drops to 31% of baseline
• Varying reports as to time to recovery of Ig
• Ranges from 3 days to 5 weeks to full recovery
– Variation due to different methods of calculating
recovery, some patients on immunosuppressive
medications
Paraproteins
• Removal of paraproteins (ie myeloma) is 50% of
predicted
– Some cases can have greater removal than predicted
(see last 2 reasons)
• Due to:
– Increase in plasma volume (up to 1.5x greater,
especially if IgG >40g/L)
– Some myeloma patients have higher proportion of
IgG in intravascular space (56-85%)
– As remove paraprotein in TPE, plasma volume
progressively decreases
Complement and Immune
Complexes
• C3 has equal distribution between
intra/extravascular space
• Decrease to 37% of baseline with 1
plasma volume exchange
• Recovery to 90% at 24 hours and 100% at
48 hours
• Similar results for circulating immune
complexes
Coagulant Proteins
Fibrinogen:
• Decrease to 25% of pretreatment with
single exchange of 1 PV
• Decrease to 10-30% of pretreatment with
consecutive daily 1 PV exchange
• recover to 100% of pretreatment levels by
2-3 days
Coagulant Proteins
Prothrombin:
• Decreased to 30% of baseline
Factor VII & factor VIII:
• Decreased to 45-50% of baseline
Factor IX:
• Decreased to 60% of baseline
Factor V, X, XI:
• Decrease to 38% of baseline
Antithrombin:
• Activity to 40%, Ag to 70%
• Recovery to 85-100% of baseline within 24
hours
• Elevation of PTT, PT, TT post exchange
• PTT,TT returned to normal 4 hours post
exchange
• PT returned to normal 24 hours post
exchange
• While decreases in coagulation proteins,
large studies have not shown increased
bleeding risks in patients undergoing
repeat exchanges
• Concern if preexisting hemostatic risk:
– Currently bleeding, surgical procedure within
last 24 hours, preexisting coagulopathy
Electrolytes
• Potassium decrease (minimal)(0.25meq/L
with albumin and up to 0.7meq/L with FFP
• No change in sodium and glucose
• Bicarbonate decrease 6meq/L and
chloride increase 4meq/L with albumin and
this reverses with FFP (more citrate in
FFP)
Other plasma proteins and
molecules
• LDL cholesterol, ALP, ALT decrease to
37% after 1 PV exchange
• AST, LDH,amylase, CK, ferritin, transferrin
decrease to 47% after 1 PV exchange
• ALT, AST, amylase 100% recovery in
48hrs
• LDH, ALP,CK 60% recovery in 48hrs
• LDL cholesterol 44% recovery in 48hrs
CBC
RBC:
• Up to 12% decrease in Hb immediately
after 1 PV exchange
• Recovery to 100% within 24 hours
• Felt to be due to expansion of plasma
volume with albumin more than FFP
WBC:
• Some have shown increase in neutrophils
(up to 2x109/L), while others have not
CBC
Platelets:
• 15-50% reductions have been seen post
1PV exchange
• With 5-10 repeated exchanges platelets
may drop to 20-25% pretreatment levels
• Recover to 70-85% by 24 hours and 100%
by 72-96 hours
• Platelets may fall by smaller amount if
baseline platelets <150
Removal of Autoantibodies
•
•
•
•
Monoclonal immunoglobulins
Paraproteins
Polyclonal autoantibodies
Antibodies in immune complexes
• IgG 45% intravascular
• 1.25 plasma volume exchange removes 32% of
total body IgG
• Reequilibration between intra/extravascular
compartments may be complete by 24 hours
• To deplete total body IgG by 85% requires 5
exchanges of 1.25 plasma volumes on alternate
day schedule
• 21 day resynthesis half life
• IgM 75% intravascular
• Faster rate of synthesis than IgG at 5-6
day resynthesis half life
• To reduce to 85% requires 3-4 exchanges
of 1.25 plasma volumes
Hyperviscosity Syndrome
• Concentration of paraprotein at which
patients develop clinical hyperviscosity is
variable
• For IgM, reduction of serum viscosity may
occur with removal of 0.5 plasma volume
Drug Removal
• Can remove:
– ASA, tobramycin, dilantin, vancomycin, propranolol
• May reduce plasma levels of enzymes that metabolize
drugs
• May reduce plasma levels of proteins that bind and
transport drugs
• Depends on distribution of drug between
intra/extravascular space, half life of drug in circulation,
timing of administration of drug, protein bound status, not
lipid or tissue bound
• 1% of prednisone removed
• IVIG mainly removed as remains intravascularly
• Ideally give medications after exchange
TBV calculations
• Calculate TBV by Nadler’s formula
• For male: (0.006012xht3) / (14.6xwt) + 604
= TBV(ml)
• For female: (0.005835xht3) / (15xwt) +183
= TBV (ml)
– Will overestimate obese patient blood volume
and underestimate muscular patient blood
volume
TBV calculations
• Other methods:
• Gilcher’s Rule of 5’s:

• Extracorporeal blood volume limited to 15% of
TBV
– To limit hypovolemia
– Can prime with RBC if extracorporeal RBC volume is
more than 15% of RBC volume
– Intraprocedure hematocrit:
(RCV-extracorporeal RCV)/TBV x100
– If this is <24%, the PLEX may not be tolerated
– Acute onset anemia less tolerated on exchange
Replacement Fluid
• Need replacement fluid to exert oncotic
pressure to replace removed plasma
– 5% albumin exerts oncotic pressure resulting
in slight reequilibration of fluid into
intravascular space at end of PLEX
– FFP
– Pentastarch
Volume Replacement
• Up to 2/3 of anticoagulant volume may be
retained in removed plasma
– Don’t have to replace this whole volume
• Hypovolemic exchanges
– Potential for hypotension even if volume
overloaded at start of exchange
– PLEX modulates intravascular volume only
• Unlike hemoperfusion or hemodialysis
Anticoagulant
• Citrate
• Chelates calcium and block calcium
dependent clotting factor reactions
– Ensures extracorporeal blood remains in fluid
state
– Minimize activation of platelets and clotting
factors
Anticoagulant
• 40% plasma calcium bound to albumin
• 47% free plasma calcium
– Target of chelation by citrate
– Will decrease with little decrease in total
calcium
• 13% complexed to
citrate/phosphate/lactate
• Ionized calcium decrease 0.1mmol/L for
each 0.5-0.6 nmol/L rise in plasma citrate
Anticoagulant
• Dilution, redistribution, removal, metabolism and
excretion of infused citrate are factors protecting
against severe hypocalcemia
• Much of infused citrate is discarded with
separated plasma
• Usually 23-33% reduction in ionized calcium
• Most rapid decrease in 1st 15 mins
• Serum citrate levels return to normal 4 hours
post exchange
Anticoagulant
• Citrate infusions 65-95mg/kg/hour are safe
• >100mg/kg/hr lead to increased side
effects
• Hypomagnesemia can worsen symptoms
• Duration of procedure increases risk of
symptoms
• 5% albumin can bind ionized calcium and
contribute (more than FFP which contains
citrate)
Anticoagulant
Variables affecting symptoms:
• Absolute amount of calcium
• Rate of decrease
• Serum pH
• Decrease in Mg, K, Na
• sedatives

May cause metabolic alkalosis if renal disease and using
FFP
Vascular Access
• Blood flow rates for adults ~60-150 ml/min
• For small children may be down to
10ml/min
• Flow rate depends on:
– Vascular access
– Ability to tolerate citrate (related to TBV)
Vascular Access
• Peripheral veins when possible
• Draw site:
– 16-18 G steel needle allows flows up to
120ml/min
– Antecubital fossa
• Medial cubital, cephalic, basilic
– Disorders of autonomic nervous system have
poor vascular tone, peripheral neuropathies;
may be unable to maintain good flow rates
Vascular Access
• High Hct or hyperviscous patients may
need 16 G
• 18 G can be used for normal viscosity or
Hct to get flow up to 110 ml/min
• Soft plastic IV will colapse
Vascular Access
•
•
•
•
•
Return lines:
17-18 G for >80ml/min
19 G for < 70 ml/min
Can be used in other arm veins
If use same arm, return line should be
above (downstream) from draw line to
decrease recirculation
Vascular Access
• Central lines:
• Large bore allows faster flow rates up to
150ml/min
• Less concern re: loss of site or vasospasm
• Increased concern re: infection and/or
thrombosis
• Need hard plastic hemodialysis type line
• Red port: shorter draw line
• Blue port: longer return line
