Plasma Exchange in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: A Narrative Review

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an adjunctive intervention to immunosuppression for the treatment of severe renal involvement or lung hemorrhage in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Patients with AAV have an increased risk for progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or deat...
