What is the therapeutic affereza?

Therapeutic afferes include blood passage through the machine to remove harmful components. The blood is taken by a tube located in the patient's vein before entering the machine, which separates the blood into its various parts by means of a centrifuge. Those parts of blood associated with the disease are extracted and discarded. This leaves only healthy blood, which is returned to the patient through another tube. Aferhesis can also be used to harvest stem cells from blood for transplant to a patient with cancer, a process known as peripheral stem cell transplantation. Patients are not obliged to stay in the hospital after these types of therapeutic treatments, although another person will usually have to drive them home. Since the therapeutic afferes are associated with the loss of calcium, it is important to consume a lot of calcium on the days before the Trjí. Patients can eat and drink in the morning before the procedure. During therapeutic afferens, the patient combines two tubes with a machine, although they can be combined into one catheter withtwo channels inside.

Therapeutic afferes can be used to treat a number of conditions. It is often used to remove molecules such as blood antibodies. Although antibodies are part of the immune system and help protect the body from harmful attackers, such as bacteria, sometimes their production can become abnormal. This can lead to an autoimmune disease such as myasthenia gravis, where antibodies block muscle cell receptors, preventing their nerve signals from achieving them. Although the cause is unknown, myasthenia gravis can be associated with tumors of the grinding gland.

In Myasthenia gravis, muscle weakness develops, and this may have serious consequences are affected by respiratory muscles. If breathing problems occur, therapeutic afferes may be necessary. Aferesis is performed to remove blocking antibodies from blood plasma. Spare plasma from a donor who isWithout antibodies, it can be given to the patient. The use of therapeutic afferens in this way can reduce the symptoms of myasthenia gravis for several weeks and is one of the therapeutic treatments that can be performed before surgically.

Some possible side effects of therapeutic afferens include bruises where needles enter the skin, lip tingling, light and cold. Sometimes itching and hives may develop, and blood pressure could drop. It is important to rest after treatment, drink a lot of fluids and avoid strenuous activities.
