Plasma Pheresis in India
Also known as Plasma exchange, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), plasma pheresis
The short answer
Plasmapheresis in India costs USD 300–600 per session, with most treatment courses requiring 5-7 sessions over 1-2 weeks. The procedure removes and filters plasma from the blood to eliminate harmful antibodies or toxins, used in autoimmune, neurological, and certain kidney conditions.
About Plasma Pheresis
Plasmapheresis, also called therapeutic plasma exchange, is a procedure that separates plasma from blood cells and replaces it with a substitute fluid or donor plasma, removing harmful antibodies, immune complexes, or toxins circulating in the blood. It is used to treat a range of autoimmune, neurological, and kidney conditions where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues.
Who it is for
Recommended for patients with conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, certain autoimmune kidney diseases (e.g., anti-GBM disease, lupus nephritis flares), or antibody-mediated transplant rejection.
What happens during treatment
Blood is drawn through a vascular access point, passed through a cell separator machine that removes plasma, and the filtered blood cells are returned to the body along with a replacement fluid (albumin or donor plasma). A full course typically involves multiple sessions over 1-2 weeks.
