Plasma exchange is used frequently in patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). Unfortunately, contradictory results have been published regarding the clinical outcome of plasma exchange therapy. We assessed the efficacy of plasma exchange in a long-term follow-up study of 17 patients with RPGN. Of these, 4 had anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody-mediated GN, 8 had immlune-complex GN, and 5 had pauci-immune GN. We conclude that plasma exchange is a useful adjunct to conventional therapy, particularly when used in the early stage of the disease in patients with RPGN.
