A procedure that removes plasma from the blood to clear harmful antibodies — used in anti-GBM disease, vasculitis, and some transplant complications.
In plasmapheresis, blood is separated and the plasma (carrying antibodies, toxins, or paraproteins) is discarded and replaced with albumin or fresh frozen plasma. It is first-line with immunosuppression in anti-GBM disease and severe ANCA vasculitis, and treats antibody-mediated transplant rejection.
Antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane causing rapidly progressive nephritis with lung hemorrhage.
Autoimmune inflammation of small blood vessels with ANCA antibodies — often rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
A medical procedure that filters waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood using a dialysis machine when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
The immune system's attack on a transplanted organ — acute (treatable, days-weeks) or chronic (slower, months-years) — diagnosed by biopsy and treated with immunosuppression.
