Therapeutic plasma exchange in chronic dysimmune peripheral neuropathies: A 10 ‐year retrospective study

ConclusionTPE appears to be effective in CIDP and PPN, and ineffective in Lewis‐Sumner and POEMS syndromes. Interestingly, anti‐MAG neuropathy patients showed a good rate of response to TPE. Regarding these preliminary results, a randomized trial would be very worthwhile in this disease for which there is no evidence based treatment to date.
