Therapeutic Plasma Exchange Combined with Intravenous Immunoglobin Reduces Biological Age

Therapeutic plasma exchange combined with intravenous immunoglobin reduces biological age

A first-of-its-kind clinical trial clinical trial shows that therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) combined with intravenous immunoglobin reduced biological age on average by 2.6 years, as measured by multi-omic biomarkers.

Clinical trial demonstrates the impact of therapeutic plasma exchange on biological age

A first-of-its-kind clinical trial shows that therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) combined with intravenous immunoglobulin reduced biological age on average by 2.6 years, as measured by multi-omic biomarkers. Results of the single-blind, placebo-controlled trial are published in Aging Cell.

Cars need oil changes to make their engines work properly. Some anti-aging experts, along with some scientists, believe that blood plasma exchange can have a similar effect on humans, helping to delay biological aging. The procedure is currently offered for thousands of dollars per session at many longevity clinics. In a car, "oil is changed every 4800 kilometers because it eliminates waste," explained Dr. Eric Verdin, president and executive di…
