Double filtration plasmapheresis for children with different types of critical kidney diseases: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) was initially used to facilitate the conduction of ABO-incompatible renal transplantation. The applicability of DFPP has recently expanded to cover the removal of various antibodies in adults with immune-mediated diseases. However, DFPP is seldom used in children, with few reports addressing its efficacy and safety in this population. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and adverse effects of DFPP for pediatric patients with renal indications.

Methods

Children who received DFPP between December 2017 and December 2020 at Tongji Hospital were retrospectively studied, and sub-grouped for analysis according to the types of disease. All children received 3 to 6 DFPP sessions within 2 to 3 weeks, and were assessed for clinica
