The clinical efficacy of therapeutic apheresis is still controversial. We undertook a retrospective review of apheresis treatment to ascertain its safety and efficacy. The therapeutic apheresis consists of a continuously improving therapeutic method for diseases with high mortality and morbidity, especially in cases with poor outcome by using current medications.
