Can you explain plasmaphoresis to me, as my Neuro doc has suggested I do it for my CIDP.
Honestly I’m not keen on having the line placed in my chest, afraid of an infection.

I have two ports and they access them and hook me up to a machine that one line removes blood and it goes through machine and blood and plasma are separated. The blood is returned through same line and plasma is collected and discarded since that’s where the bad antibodies are. It is replaced with albumin. It’s really not bad and literally saved me when in crisis.
