Talk:Plasmapheresis

message: Should the donor section be split into a new article of "plasma donation" similar to the blood donation article?  The two processes use very similar equipment and have some similar risks, but the intent of the process is completely different.150.148.0.27 (talk) 00:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Sorry, only just seen your comment. I'm with MrHex below about the plasmapharesis an plasma exchange issue, although I take your point. However the article is not clear about the difference between plasma donation and theraputic plasma exchange, which has specific indications, complications etc.Felix-felix 10:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Should

message: This page needs a fair amount of work, there needs to be a distinction made between plasmapharesis alone and plasma exchange.
I also think that the donation section is spurious and should be removed. Any objections?Felix-felix 13:26, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is there a Wiki warning from Aug. 2007 still at the top of this article? This article does cite 5 refs now (Aug. 2009), and I will try to add at least 1 more. So I am going to remove that Wiki warning about no refs cited.Jack B108 (talk) 15:35, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

message: "Plasma donors are typically paid cash for their donations, though this is not universal. For example, donors in the UK, Australia and New Zealand are not given financial incentives. Since the products are heavily processed and treated to remove infectious agents, the higher risk is considered acceptable."
This passage made no sense to me when I first read it - what is the "higher risk" here? After re-reading I think the "higher risk" is meant to refer to paying donors creating a higher risk of infectious disease, but if so then it badly needs rewording - especially since the mention of "higher risk" comes immediately after discussion of countries that DON'T pay donors. --144.53.226.17 (talk) 05:27, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Autoimmune disorders 

message: Is the purpose of this section to outline possible treatments or proven ones? I was looking for a source in regards to Down Syndrome Regression Disorder and all I could really find is this which is about a currently ongoing clinical trial. It sounds promising but it's still a clinical trial, not like a systemic review or anything. This prompts me to wonder about the suitability of this condition's inclusion on the list.
