What Does TEP Stand For?
TEP stands for Therapeutic Exchange Plasmapheresis
TEP, or Therapeutic Exchange Plasmapheresis, is a medical procedure that involves the selective removal of plasma from the blood to treat various autoimmune and hematological disorders. During TEP, patients' plasma is replaced with a substitution fluid, which can enhance recovery by eliminating harmful antibodies and toxins from circulation. This procedure is commonly employed for conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and certain types of kidney disease, among others. TEP is performed in a clinical setting under the supervision of healthcare professionals, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes.
