Objectives:- To analyze our experience with 105 cases who underwent plasmapheresis for various disorders. Materials and Methods:-Retrospective review of Plasmapheresis(PE) was done over a period of 13 years, from july 2015 to August 2002 in a tertiary care centre. Results:- The main indication for PE was GuillainBarresyndrome( GBS) ( 31%) . Age of patients ranged from 18-62 years. The most common complications were paraesthesias and/or cramps (36.1%) and hypocalcemia (7%).There was no mortality related to the procedure. Conclusion:-The analysis of 105 cases of plasmapheresis in our department showed that the procedure is safe, with only minimal procedure related complications and no mortality.
