Apheresis (also known as pheresis or therapeutic pheresis) is a medical procedure utilizing specialized equipment to remove selected blood constituents (plasma, leukocytes, platelets, or cells) from whole blood. The remainder is retransfused into the person from whom the blood was taken. Report this code for therapeutic apheresis with extracorporeal treatment of the blood outside the body for immune complexes, filtration of specific components, and return of the plasma to the patient.
