Does anyone has had a plasmapheresis and antiphospholipid syndrome??

I´ve had a miscarriage due to my IgG and IgM high levels. I want to make a second try and my doctor had recommended a plasmapheresis therapy first to clean up my body. Does anyone has done this??

Hello, firstly sorry to hear about your miscarriage, glad you are ready to try again, and I have not had this, however i am sure somewhere on here, somebody will have done. Keep us posted. Mary F x

my wife has had this done twice = once when she was before she was young and in the past year - the first one proved sucessfull - the next one is undetermined as it has only a short time since the treatment

I had plamapheresis and immunoabsorbtion prior to my renal transplant, which was successful and is now 11 years old! Good luck - it certainly worked for me

Was your renal failure related to APS? I had clots in my kidneys and had a transplant. I also had plasmapheresis and IVIG but I rejected immediately basically. I wasn't aware of anyone else with renal failure related to APS. Where was your transplant?
