Plasma exchange is a commonly used blood purification method, h includes plasma exchange,double filtration plasmapheresis and immunoadsorption.Many nervous system diseases have the antibody. Guillian-Barre syndrome is caused by antibodies of the nervous system demyelinafing disease; Myasthenia grads is caused by the acetylcholinc receptor antibodies. CIDP also has autoimmune-mediated mechanism. Plasma exchange can be apphed effectively to remove antibodies, and to quickly improve the patient' s clinical symptoms and shorten the course of disease.
