Frequency of immediate adverse effects associated with therapeutic apheresis

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic apheresis was found to be reasonably safe in prior studies using instruments that are now largely obsolete. The incidence of adverse effects with current instruments and techniques has not been assessed in a large multicenter study.
