Key Points

To explore the effects of plasma exchange on immune cells and cytokines in autoimmune neurological diseases.
Described the procedure of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and its safety profile in patients.
Assessed changes in immune cell subsets before and after TPE.
Evaluated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines pre- and post-procedure.
TPE demonstrated a significant reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines post-treatment.
Immune cell profile showed alterations towards a potentially less inflammatory state after TPE.

Abstract

TPE is a safe and well-tolerated procedure for patients with certain autoimmune neurological disorders, potentially promoting recovery by modulating immune cell subsets and clearing pro-inflammatory cytokines.
