Apheresis: A Critical Tool in Modern Therapeutics and Diagnostics
Apheresis has emerged as a vital medical procedure, playing a significant role in both therapeutic and diagnostic settings. By selectively removing specific components from the blood, apheresis offers targeted treatment options for a variety of diseases while also enabling efficient collection of blood products for transfusion and research.
What is Apheresis?
