Plasma exchange (PE) is the most important treatment in thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) mainly encompassing thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and adult hemolytic syndrome (HUS). This therapeutic measure has substantially improved clinical outcome. One plasma volume corresponding to 40 ml/kg of body weight is exchanged daily until the platelet count is above 150 x 10(9)/l or 100 x 10(9)/l and continues to rise or remains constantly after cessation of treatment. Exacerbations and late recurrences demand reapplication of daily PE. Twice daily PEs are initiated if the response to initial treatment is poor. The importance of additional or alternate measures including glucocorticoids, antiplatelet agents, splenectomy, intravenous immunoglobulins, protein A columns, vincristine, cyclosporine, and cyclophosphamide is uncertain. Whether cryosupernatant plasma (CSP) or solvent/detergent-treated (SDP) plasma is superior to standard fresh frozen plasma (FFP) remains to be determined. Methylene blue-treated plasma (MBP) seems to be less effective than standard FFP. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
