Hi!
In plasmapheresis, blood is removed from circulation by a catheter or needle placed in a vein, treated and its components added back to circulation. Plasma is also collected by this method and either frozen or kept fresh.  Fresh plasma is treated to remove the antibodies and added back. Frozen plasma is used to manufacture a variety of medications. The whole procedure is performed outside the body in a machine, hence it is called an extracorporeal therapy. It is commonly used to treat thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Take care!
