Effect of therapeutic plasma exchange on plasma levels and total removal of adipokines and inflammatory markers

Conclusions TPE provides a persistent reduction in sICAM-1 levels and temporarily affects several adipokine and cytokine plasma levels. Our findings are of importance not only for the interpretation of blood levels of cytokines in patients undergoing TPE but provide solid evidence that TPE markedly decreases sICAM-1.
