Evaluating Risk Factors for Developing Allergic Reactions during Plasma Exchange using Fresh-frozen Plasma: A Single-center Retrospective Study

Conclusion Allergic reaction onset occurred approximately one hour after PEx initiation in the critical period. A serum Alb level ≥3.4 g/dL was identified as a risk factor for predicting allergic reactions. Patients with Alb levels ≥3.4 g/dL at the first PEx should be monitored for allergic reaction symptoms.PMID:36792201 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.0507-22
