This is intended as an introductory overview for people less familiar with apheresis, but hopefully will also provide useful nuggets for people more experienced with therapeutic apheresis.

  Objectives:

  1. Describe the mechanism for centrifugation apheresis.

  2. List common applications for the different versions of apheresis.

  3. Explain common risks/contraindications of apheresis.
