In the Introduction&#44; the authors highlight that plasmapheresis has become a sub-specialty within nephrology given nephrologists&#8217; command in using blood cleansing techniques&#44; which is an opinion that we completely agree with&#46;

the American Society for Apheresis &#40;ASFA&#41; was founded&#44; with a series of objectives&#44; such as controlling the TA indications and the cost-benefit ratio for the different apheresis procedures&#46; To that end&#44; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">the Journal of Clinical Apheresis</span> was published&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleItalic"> </span>Furthermore&#44; the International Society for Apheresis also created its own journal <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Therapeutic Apheresis</span>&#44; both published quarterly&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">One of the best contributions that these organisations have made to TA&#44; especially the American Association of Blood Banks &#40;AABB&#41; and the ASFA&#44; was to create the guidelines for plasmapheresis use&#44; classifying its indications into four categories &#40;I-IV&#41; in accordance with its effectiveness&#46; These categories are updated every three years&#46; In 2010&#44; the ASFA presented its 5<span class="elsevierStyleSup">th</span> Edition&#44; with a special issue&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In the last decade&#44;

Haemodialysis &#40;HD&#41; is the main BCP&#46; Its objective is to eliminate light and medium weight molecules resulting from renal failure&#46; The remaining BCP included in TA are used more or less selectively for various illnesses depending on the molecular characteristics or the immunocomplexes that are to be cleansed&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">2&#46; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Blood cleansing procedures</span>&#46; There are numerous BCP&#59; TA is currently used for more than 80 different illnesses&#44; corresponding to most medical specialities&#46; All BCP use extracorporeal circulation &#40;ECC&#41;&#44; which is best understood by trained nephrologists&#46; As shown in Table 1&#44; we divided the 23 BCP into two groups&#58; the first group shows the procedures that are used for TA in accordance with indications in ASFA&#8217;s categories I&#44; II and P<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span>&#46; The procedures indicated for chronic and acute renal failure are in the second group&#46; For both groups&#44; the patients&#8217; treatment may be acute or chronic&#44;

similar to that used in HD&#46; The following is therefore needed&#58; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">a&#41; vascular access</span> to provide an average blood flow of 100&#177;20ml&#47;min&#44; which could be performed using vascular accesses similar to those used for HD&#44; such as arteriovenous fistulae &#40;AV&#41; or central&#44; temporary&#44; or permanent catheters&#46; There are BCP such as leukocytapheresis or granulocytapheresis which can be performed via the peripheral vein&#44;

either restrictively&#44; as is the case for inflammatory bowel diseases with leukocyte apheresis or granulocytapheresis&#44; every week for 5-8 weeks&#44; or in senile macular degeneration&#44; in which rheopheresis is performed two sessions a month&#44; for 5-6 months&#46; Furthermore&#44; an unlimited chronic TA programme could be established&#44; as is the case for the homozygous and heterozygous familiar hypercholesterolemia and for some neurological diseases&#44;

In the Introduction&#44; the authors highlight that plasmapheresis has become a sub-specialty within nephrology given nephrologists&#8217; command in using blood cleansing techniques&#44; which is an opinion that we completely agree with&#46; In this Editorial Comment we would like to explain why therapeutic apheresis &#40;TA&#41; should be integrated in our department&#46; However&#44; before indicating such reasons&#44; we would like to highlight the importance that this therapeutic method currently has&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">WHY IS THERAPEUTIC APHERESIS IMPORTANT AT PRESENT&#63;</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In 1982&#44; the American Society for Apheresis &#40;ASFA&#41; was founded&#44; with a series of objectives&#44; such as controlling the TA indications and the cost-benefit ratio for the different apheresis procedures&#46; To that end&#44; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">the Journal of Clinical Apheresis</span> was published&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleItalic"> </span>Furthermore&#44; the International Society for Apheresis also created its own journal <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Therapeutic Apheresis</span>&#44; both published quarterly&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">One of the best contributions that these organisations have made to TA&#44; especially the American Association of Blood Banks &#40;AABB&#41; and the ASFA&#44; was to create the guidelines for plasmapheresis use&#44; classifying its indications into four categories &#40;I-IV&#41; in accordance with its effectiveness&#46; These categories are updated every three years&#46; In 2010&#44; the ASFA presented its 5<span class="elsevierStyleSup">th</span> Edition&#44; with a special issue&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In the last decade&#44; various official TA work groups have been created in various countries&#44; with the aim of registering and controlling apheresis indications and results&#44; i&#46;e&#46; Canada&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span><span class="elsevierStyleSup"> </span>Switzerland&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span> Japan&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> and Italy&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> In 2004&#44;

support and enthusiasm&#44; more and more professionals are becoming members&#46; Recently&#44; a GTAF has been created in Argentina&#44; which forms part of the Argentinean Society of Nephrology &#40;S&#46;A&#46;N&#46;&#41;&#44;

The basics are described below&#58;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">1&#46; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Definition</span>&#46; TA&#8217;s purpose is to eliminate molecules and immunocomplexes that determine an illness from the bloodstream using different blood cleansing procedures &#40;BCP&#41;&#46; Haemodialysis &#40;HD&#41; is the main BCP&#46; Its objective is to eliminate light and medium weight molecules resulting from renal failure&#46; The remaining BCP included in TA are used more or less selectively for various illnesses depending on the molecular characteristics or the immunocomplexes that are to be cleansed&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">2&#46; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Blood cleansing procedures</span>&#46; There are numerous BCP&#59; TA is currently used for more than 80 different illnesses&#44; corresponding to most medical specialities&#46; All BCP use extracorporeal circulation &#40;ECC&#41;&#44; which is best understood by trained nephrologists&#46; As shown in Table 1&#44; we divided the 23 BCP into two groups&#58; the first group shows the procedures that are used for TA in accordance with indications in ASFA&#8217;s categories I&#44; II and P<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span>&#46; The procedures indicated for chronic and acute renal failure are in the second group&#46; For both groups&#44; the patients&#8217; treatment may be acute or chronic&#44; such as HD or LDL-apheresis&#46; No other specialty is able to provide such variety in treatment&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">3&#46; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">ECC</span> All BCP included in the TA require an ECC&#44; similar to that used in HD&#46; The following is therefore needed&#58; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">a&#41; vascular access</span> to provide an average blood flow of 100&#177;20ml&#47;min&#44; which could be performed using vascular accesses similar to those used for HD&#44; such as arteriovenous fistulae &#40;AV&#41; or central&#44; temporary&#44; or permanent catheters&#46; There are BCP such as leukocytapheresis or granulocytapheresis which can be performed via the peripheral vein&#44; and which need a blood flow of 50-60ml&#47;min&#59; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">b&#41; anticoagulation</span> during the apheresis process similar to HD&#44; generally with heparin&#44; although citrate is also used&#44;

<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Knowledge of ECC and its complications&#46;</span><span class="elsevierStyleItalic"> </span>Being familiar with ECC techniques is essential&#44; and only nephrology professionals are&#46; They know the initial&#44; maintenance and end manoeuvres for these extracorporeal procedures&#44; and their complications&#46; We must take into account that most complications are reversible&#44; and such reversibility mainly depends on how early the disorder is diagnosed and treated&#44; and therefore&#44; on the professionals&#8217; experience&#46; It is essential to have this knowledge&#44; not only for the patient&#8217;s safety but also from the financial point of view&#44; considering that these techniques are costly&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">5&#46; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Chronic programme maintenance&#46;</span> TA is mainly indicated as an acute treatment&#44; but there are a series of disorders that should be treated regularly&#44; either restrictively&#44; as is the case for inflammatory bowel diseases with leukocyte apheresis or granulocytapheresis&#44; every week for 5-8 weeks&#44; or in senile macular degeneration&#44; in which rheopheresis is performed two sessions a month&#44; for 5-6 months&#46; Furthermore&#44; an unlimited chronic TA programme could be established&#44; as is the case for the homozygous and heterozygous familiar hypercholesterolemia and for some neurological diseases&#44;
