Abstract

  • Anticoagulants are essential to prevent clotting during apheresis, which uses extracorporeal circuits.

  • When choosing an anticoagulant, one should consider the type of apheresis, the materials used (such as in the adsorption column and filter), and the patient’s bleeding risk.

  • Adequate monitoring of clotting function in patients is important for a safe and smooth apheresis procedure.
