Some Facts About Heterochronic Plasma Exchange

By Dennis Barnes


Nobody wants to grow old, and nobody wants to get sick either. However, these two conditions are unavoidable. By sticking to a proper diet and avoiding a sedentary lifestyle, you can have a long, fruitful life, but this might not keep you safe from some medical conditions. If you are tired of using various drugs to control your illness, you might want to look into heterochronic plasma exchange. This process has been around for many years, but here are some basic facts about it.

This treatment involves an older person getting a blood transplant from a younger person. Logically, the process is a bit more complicated than a regular blood transplant, but it involves replacing the plasma in the older person with plasma from the younger individual. The process is done extracorporeally, meaning you do not have to worry about the complications associated with surgery.

For something like this, you first have to ensure that you talk to your doctor. Because of the improved body functions this treatment brings about, you will find that people with certain conditions may benefit even more from this procedure. Talking to an expert will also allow you to get more information and a better explanation, than what you may have found online.

As with other treatment options, there are also some risks associated with this plasma exchange. This is why you will find that places that offer this procedure will also have a through screening stage, to make sure that your condition will not be exasperated. However, you do not have to worry too much about this because several clinical studies have been conducted, and this procedure is FDA approved.

For this treatment to succeed, it needs to be administered properly. Therefore, you have to identify trained physicians who do this, and facilities that offer this service. You should confirm that those clinics have the necessary modern equipment and excellent aftercare services.

Clinical trials for this form of therapy have just recently been completed, and the process itself if newly approved. Therefore, not very many places offer this service just yet. However, you can run an internet search to identify clinics that are up and running, or book yourself into a place that is opening by early two thousand and seventeen.

While being used to treat a medical condition, this procedure is entirely acceptable. However, for people who want to use it just to avoid the physical changes that come with aging, there is some ethical backlash.

Depending on what you agree with the facility, you can either look for a donor yourself for one may be provided for you. They will have to pass the set criteria and most importantly be of good health. Their consent will also be needed to ensure that you and the professionals doing the procedure do not break any legal or ethical rules.
