Filtering out the antibodies that are harming you.
A controlled procedure that removes disease-causing antibodies and proteins from your blood, used for kidney, nerve and immune emergencies.
The treatment, in plain language.
Plasmapheresis is a procedure where your blood is drawn out, the plasma (the liquid part carrying harmful antibodies or proteins) is separated and discarded, and the rest is returned to you with replacement fluid. It's used when the body's own immune system is the problem — attacking nerves, kidneys or transplanted organs. By removing the harmful component fast, plasmapheresis buys time for slower medications to take over, often preventing permanent damage.
Is this the right treatment for you?
- If you have Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenic crisis or another acute neurological condition.
- If you have rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis or anti-GBM disease.
- If you have antibody-mediated transplant rejection.
- If you are being prepared for an ABO-incompatible kidney transplant.
- If you have TTP, cryoglobulinemia or another antibody-driven disorder.
Our standard, not the industry standard.
Started fast when time matters
For acute neurological or kidney emergencies, we can start the same day a nephrologist clears the case.
ICU-compatible machines
Equipment that works for unstable patients too — paired with our SLED and CRRT setup when needed.
Senior nephrologist on every session
Replacement fluid, volume balance and anticoagulation are calibrated in real time, not by protocol alone.
Affordable, transparent pricing
Per-session and full-course estimates given in writing before you commit.
From OPD to discharge.
- Catheter placed if not already in situ; pre-procedure labs.
- Each session runs 2-3 hours, recliner or bed.
- Continuous monitoring; senior nephrologist on the floor.
- Most courses are 5-7 sessions over 10-14 days.
- Tiredness for a few hours after each session is normal.
Transparent, written before you commit.

Final pricing is centre-specific and depends on consumables, drugs and any add-on tests. We share a written estimate before scheduling. Call +91 98181 83957 for your individual quote.
What is Plasmapheresis
Blood is drawn into a specialized machine
The harmful plasma (containing antibodies, toxins, abnormal proteins) is separated
It is replaced with clean plasma or a plasma substitute
Purified blood is returned back to the body
Why Renacare for Plasmapheresis?
Plasmapheresis at Renacare is led by experienced nephrologists trained in managing complex immune and neurological disorders.
We provide budget-friendly therapy directly within the center, making advanced treatment available to more families.
Our team is equipped to start plasmapheresis quickly when time is critical.
Questions patients ask before they decide.
Dialysis removes small molecules — toxins, salt, extra water. Plasmapheresis removes much larger molecules — antibodies, immune complexes, abnormal proteins. The machines look similar but the filters and replacement fluids are different, and the goal is different.
Most antibody-driven conditions need 5-7 sessions over 10-14 days. Transplant preparation may need 3-5. The exact number depends on antibody levels, response to treatment and your underlying disease. We re-assess after each session.
Stable patients usually come in for the session and go home. Critically ill or ICU patients have plasmapheresis at the bedside in the partner hospital. The nephrologist team decides the setting based on how stable you are.
Don't decide alone. Decide informed.
Whether you are weighing options, want a second opinion, or are ready to schedule — we'll route you to the right consultant within the day.
