Talk:Apheresis

message: also, i am having a hard time understanding how IVIG has anything to do with apheresis. 
as far as therapy, apparently IVIG is administered as an IV?
as far as donation, it comes from thousands of donors... are you saying most of those donors haven given blood through some sort of apheresis? what sort of apheresis? how is the blood from which comes IVIG, any different from ordinary non-apheresis blood donations?
if anyone can fix this please help.

I agree with your concern.  IVIG is used as an alternate to apheresis (specifically plasma exchange) for many neurologic diseases (AIDP, CIDP) and has been found to be equivalent to plasma exchange with regard to outcomes though it is substantially more exppensive.  i think that this section should be deleted.  It is not relevant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pathdoc1984 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Sarah Manguso's 2008 memoir The Two Kinds of Decay features extensive descriptions of undergoing apherisis (as part of a treatment for Chronic Idiopathic Demyelinating Polyneuropathy), focusing on both the physiological and psychological nature of the experience. Would a mention of this be appropriate, or do you think it outside the scope of the article? Cazlem (talk) 04:32, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Under 'leukapheresis,' under 'Donor' section, the term 'HES' is used.  Is this Hydroxyethyl starch?  Can someone confirm or deny?  Either way, it would be best to clarify the meaning/definition of 'HES' and exactly how/why it is used (or not).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.177.1.217 (talk) 12:32, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
