Hi Rozm, I had plasma exchange/plasmapheresis for about 2 yrs before my transplant, I’m happy to answer any questions, if I can, 🌸🌸

Hi Rozm2004 , yeh ive had plasma exchange for the itching , had it 3 times a wk for 3 months , sorry to say didn't help me one bit but was worth a try , it does exhaust you cos its like yr body is going through a washing machine ! I now have a nasrl billiary drain that drains the bile off ( that is what causes the itch ) and although its not working to irs full potential at present due to it needing to be changed it does work and gave me my life back , there are pros and cons with it but the pros outway the cons anyday for me . Im not saying that plasma wont work for you it just didnt for me or the guy before me but wishing you all the luck in the world x
