Your kidney condition may be treated with medicines, including the latest to control your blood pressure, blood glucose, blood cholesterol, electrolyte and hormone levels.
Therapeutic plasma exchange (apheresis) can be used to treat a range of conditions, including autoimmune diseases. A machine draws your blood and separates it into platelets, red blood cells, white blood cells and plasma. It then removes the plasma and replaces it with fluid prepared with medication, minerals or other therapeutic agents. Your blood containing the new plasma is returned to you.
