Therapeutic Plasma Exchange

A Powerful Tool for Immune and Inflammatory Disorders

At ADIA Med, we offer Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)—a proven, science-based treatment designed to remove harmful substances from the bloodstream and restore immune system balance. Also known as plasmapheresis, TPE is a critical component of our regenerative and immunomodulatory care platform, helping patients manage and recover from complex, chronic, and autoimmune conditions.

What Is Therapeutic Plasma Exchange?

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, also known as plasmapheresis, is a specialized procedure that removes and replaces the plasma portion of your blood. Plasma contains antibodies, inflammatory proteins, and other substances that can contribute to disease. By filtering out these harmful elements and replacing the plasma with a clean, protein-rich solution, TPE helps to “reset” the immune system and reduce disease activity.

TPE is commonly used in the treatment of autoimmune and neurological conditions, and it is gaining traction as a supportive therapy in broader immune-related and chronic inflammatory diseases.

How It Can Help

TPE Benefits

The three main benefits of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) therapy are:

Rapid Removal of Harmful Substances

TPE effectively eliminates disease-causing components from the plasma, such as:

Autoantibodies
Inflammatory cytokines
Immune complexes
Toxins or metabolic waste

This fast-acting mechanism provides relief in acute and chronic conditions by directly targeting what drives disease activity.

Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)

Unlike traditional therapies that suppress the immune system, TPE offers a non-pharmacologic way to modulate immunity. By removing abnormal immune factors from circulation, it helps restore balance without compromising the body’s overall immune defense, reducing reliance on high-dose steroids or immunosuppressants.

Broad Therapeutic Applications With Minimal Side Effects

TPE is used to treat a wide range of autoimmune, neurological, and inflammatory conditions. It is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects when performed in a clinical setting. The therapy can provide both immediate symptom relief and long-term disease management benefits.

The Process

How TPE Therapy Works

During a TPE session, blood is drawn from the patient and passed through an advanced medical device that separates plasma from blood cells. The removed plasma is discarded and replaced with a sterile substitute—typically albumin or donor plasma—before the blood is returned to the patient.

Conditions We Target

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange is used in both acute and chronic care settings, especially in patients with immune-mediated disorders. Common indications include:

Neurological autoimmune conditions, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and multiple sclerosis flares
Rheumatologic diseases, like lupus and vasculitis
Hematologic disorders, including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
Chronic inflammatory conditions where conventional therapies have failed
Post-infectious syndromes and long COVID-related dysregulation

TPE is also being explored in integrative protocols to reduce inflammation and detoxify the system in patients with complex chronic illness.

Ready To Get Started?

Renew Your Health from the Inside Out

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange offers a scientifically validated way to modulate the immune system, reduce inflammatory burden, and restore balance in the body. Whether you’re facing an acute autoimmune crisis or seeking long-term immune support, TPE may offer a path forward when other treatments fall short.
