[Apheresis Techniques for the Treatment of Hyperbilirubinemia in the Nephrology Unit].

Therapeutic apheresis is an important hematological and nephrological method for conditions with altered plasma composition. It is also indicated for the removal of protein-bound molecules, such as bilirubin. Several techniques can remove these compounds, such as the extracorporeal circulation molecular adsorption system (MARS), plasma exchange (PEX), and plasma adsorption and perfusion (PAP).
