Therapeutic plasma exchange: single-center experience in children with kidney disorders. Pediatr Nephrol 2021; 36:621-629. [PMID: 32949283 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-020-04744-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2020] [Revised: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is used in kidney diseases as an adjunct treatment. Little has been described as to its effectiveness in kidney disorders in children. This study aimed to assess the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of patients who underwent TPE for kidney indications. METHODS Retrospective chart review of patients receiving TPE from 2010 to 2018 for kidney indications, such as antibody-mediated rejection, bone marrow transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, transplant recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and glomerulonephritis. Outcomes assessed were trends in kidney function, mortality, and progression to stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD 5). Significant hypocalcemia was defined as ionized calcium < 1 mmol/L. RESULTS A total of 641 TPE procedures were performed on 47 patients (25 male). Average age was 12.8 ± 5.9 years. Median glomerular filtration rate (GFR) improved from baseline to end of TPE treatments (pre 44.9 (19.8, 79), end 56.1 (23, 98) [p = 0.02]). Ten out of 47 children developed CKD 5. Seven out of 47 patients died; 5 had TA-TMA. Initial 7 consecutive sessions were reviewed for complications. Among 335 procedures, 41 episodes of significant hypocalcemia were noted (12.2%); only 1 was symptomatic. Of the 26 episodes (7.7%) of allergic reactions, all were associated with the use of FFP; 5 were anaphylactic. No TPE-associated mortality was noted. CONCLUSIONS TPE is a relatively well-tolerated useful adjunct therapy in children with kidney indications. The benefit of TPE has to be balanced with risks such as hypocalcemia and allergic reactions which can occur more frequently with FFP. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) Journal of Clinical Apheresis (JCA) Special Issue Writing Committee is charged with reviewing, updating and categorizing indications for the evidence-based use of therapeutic apheresis (TA) in human disease. Since the 2007 JCA Special Issue (Fourth Edition), the committee has incorporated systematic review and evidence-based approaches in the grading and categorization of apheresis indications. This Eighth Edition of the JCA Special Issue continues to maintain this methodology and rigor in order to make recommendations on the use of apheresis in a wide variety of diseases/conditions. The JCA Eighth Edition, like its predecessor, continues to apply the category and grading system definitions in fact sheets. The general layout and concept of a fact sheet that was introduced in the Fourth Edition, has largely been maintained in this edition. Each fact sheet succinctly summarizes the evidence for the use of TA in a specific disease entity or medical condition. The Eighth Edition comprises 84 fact sheets for relevant diseases and medical conditions, with 157 graded and categorized indications and/or TA modalities. The Eighth Edition of the JCA Special Issue seeks to continue to serve as a key resource that guides the utilization of TA in the treatment of human disease.

Abstract
Therapeutic plasma exchanges (TPE) is considered as one of the treatment modalities that is used in systemic autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to describe the early and late effect of TPE in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) presented with acute kidney injury (AKI). Retrospective study comprised patients with SLE and AAV with AKI seen between January 2000 and June 2014 at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh. All patients underwent TPE. Retrospectively, all patients were assessed for early and late renal outcome at 12- month and 24-month intervals. Renal outcome was assessed according to serum creatinine level, glomerular filtration rate, active urine sediment, and proteinuria. P <0.05 was considered significant. A total of 68 patients were included, 58 patients (51 females) had SLE and 10 patients (7 females) had AAV completed TPE. All patients had active disease and had AKI. At the first 12 months, 18 patients (17 SLE and 1 AAV) showed complete response and 14 patients had partial response while 22 patients did not show therapeutic benefit. The nonresponders (22 patients) entered the late assessment interval (24 months) without any therapeutic response. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the patient's response to TPE at the first and second assessment intervals and the baseline serum creatinine level. TPE might be an alternative rescue treatment in lupus nephritis with AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an extracorporeal procedure which consists of removing the patient's plasma and replacing it with an appropriate replacement fluid. Plasma and blood cells are separated by a centrifugation process. Our department has used TPE for several years, and in 2013 we introduced an institutional apheresis protocol. The main objective of this report is to describe the TPE procedures performed between 2013 and 2016 in the Peruvian population. METHODS We analyzed the technical and clinical aspects of 864 centrifugal TPE procedures as well as the associated complications. We evaluated 230 patients treated in our institution. RESULTS The therapeutic indications included 16 different diseases: 89.5% (N = 206/230) neurological, 7.3% (N = 17/230) hematological, 1.7% (N = 4/230) rheumatologic, 0.8% (N = 2/230) dermatological and 0.4% (N = 1/230) nephrological. 70.4% (N = 142/230) of patients were diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Albumin 5% solution was the most frequent replacement solution, used in 65.8% (N = 569/864) of the procedures. The mean plasma volume (PV) replaced was 2451.73 ml, corresponding to 1.0 PV in all procedures. Complications occurred in 10.9% (N = 95/864) of the sessions. Allergic reactions were the most common events and cardiopulmonary arrests were recorded in two patients. CONCLUSION This is the first report of TPE performed in the Peruvian population. The use of an institutional apheresis protocol was beneficial to improve registries in our service and our professional health attention. This study reports a low rate of complications, suggesting that TPE is safe. There is a need to create a multicenter Peruvian apheresis registry to assess the benefits and risks of TPE in Peru.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by persistent urine abnormalities, structural abnormalities or impaired excretory renal function suggestive of a loss of functional nephrons. The majority of patients with CKD are at risk of accelerated cardiovascular disease and death. For those who progress to end-stage renal disease, the limited accessibility to renal replacement therapy is a problem in many parts of the world. Risk factors for the development and progression of CKD include low nephron number at birth, nephron loss due to increasing age and acute or chronic kidney injuries caused by toxic exposures or diseases (for example, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus). The management of patients with CKD is focused on early detection or prevention, treatment of the underlying cause (if possible) to curb progression and attention to secondary processes that contribute to ongoing nephron loss. Blood pressure control, inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system and disease-specific interventions are the cornerstones of therapy. CKD complications such as anaemia, metabolic acidosis and secondary hyperparathyroidism affect cardiovascular health and quality of life, and require diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Each day, evidence accumulates related to the use of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in patients with rheumatic diseases. San Ignacio University Hospital has recorded all of the TPE sessions performed by the institution's apheresis group. OBJECTIVE To describe the TPE experience of patients with rheumatologic diseases in a hospital setting. METHODS Descriptive, observational, retrospective analysis. This study included analyses of the TPE sessions that were performed in patients with rheumatic diseases from November 2009 to November 2013. RESULTS The apheresis group performed 136 sessions in 27 patients. The mean patient age was 43 years (SD 18.5), and 59.3% of the patients were female. Regarding the diagnosis, the most frequents ones where: ANCA-associated vasculitis followed by systemic lupus erythematosus and catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. The average number of sessions per patient was 5 (SD 1.8), and the average plasma exchange per patient was 1.3 plasma volume replacement units. The most used replacement solution was frozen fresh plasma (FFP; 63.2% of the sessions). Of all the sessions, 4.4% presented complications, and the majority of the complications were related to vascular access. Fifteen patients required renal replacement therapy (RRT) secondary to the same cause that created the need for TPE, 3 patients required RRT due to causes other than the TPE diagnostic intervention and 1 patient had undergone chronic dialysis. CONCLUSIONS TPE is a therapeutic alternative that is needed for the management of patients with rheumatic diseases with renal involvement and those who are refractory to conventional management. Our clinical results were in agreement with the global literature.

Abstract
Organ transplantation represents the preferred treatment option for many patients in terminal organ failure. The half-life of transplanted organs, however, is still far from being satisfactory with the vast majority of the organs failing within the first two decades following transplantation. At this stage, it has become apparent that rejection (prevalently mediated by humoral events) remains the primary cause of graft loss after the first year. In this light, studies are underway to better comprehend the immune events underlying graft rejection and novel immunosuppressive strategies are being explored. In this context, therapeutic apheresis techniques, that include therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), immunoadsorption (IA) and extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP), represent an important adjunct in the current immunosuppressive armamentarium. This article briefly reviews our current understanding of the immune process underlying rejection of a solid organ transplant and describes the principal areas of application of therapeutic apheresis techniques in transplantation.

Abstract
Apheresis with different procedures and devices are used for a variety of indications that may have different adverse events (AEs). The aim of this study was to clarify the extent and possible reasons of various side effects based on data from a multinational registry. The WAA-apheresis registry data focus on adverse events in a total of 50846 procedures in 7142 patients (42% women). AEs were graded as mild, moderate (need for medication), severe (interruption due to the AE) or death (due to AE). More AEs occurred during the first procedures versus subsequent (8.4 and 5.5%, respectively). AEs were mild in 2.4% (due to access 54%, device 7%, hypotension 15%, tingling 8%), moderate in 3% (tingling 58%, urticaria 15%, hypotension 10%, nausea 3%), and severe in 0.4% of procedures (syncope/hypotension 32%, urticaria 17%, chills/fever 8%, arrhythmia/asystole 4.5%, nausea/vomiting 4%). Hypotension was most common if albumin was used as the replacement fluid, and urticaria when plasma was used. Arrhythmia occurred to similar extents when using plasma or albumin as replacement. In 64% of procedures with bronchospasm, plasma was part of the replacement fluid used. Severe AEs are rare. Although most reactions are mild and moderate, several side effects may be critical for the patient. We present side effects in relation to the procedures and suggest that safety is increased by regular vital sign measurements, cardiac monitoring and by having emergency equipment nearby.
