People with chronic illness often suffer for years without answers. It's easy to lose hope—especially when you feel like you've tried everything. 

But TPE can bring wholeness.

By reducing autoantibodies and immune triggers in the body, TPE can dramatically decrease symptoms and improve your quality of life.


There is hope.

"I cannot recommend Dr. Meza enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt supported, heard, and truly cared for.

She took the time to listen to my concerns without ever rushing me and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. It was an outstanding experience from start to finish, and I am so grateful for her compassion and expertise."

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) is an FDA-backed procedure traditionally used in hospitals to treat acute, severe illness. Although not yet FDA-approved for outpatient clinic settings, recent research shows TPE can be effective tool for managing—and even reversing—certain autoimmune and age-related conditions.
If we don't think TPE is the right next step for you, we'll guide you to other options.

Our first step may be the most important: We take the time to truly understand your personal health journey and experience.

Many people with chronic illness have felt dismissed or unheard. We see you, we believe you, and we genuinely care.

Conversation

Labs

Before we begin, our expert providers will determine if TPE is right for you. This involves the assessment of routine labs; metabolic, hematologic, and oxidative stress; and, in some cases, environmental toxins including spike proteins.


TPE Sessions

For chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, we consider recommendations from the American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) and the Journal of Clinical Apheresis (JCA). Because each person is unique, we also use clinical judgment to guide treatment decisions. Depending on your symptoms, condition, and goals, your care plan may involve 3, 6, or more sessions to improve well-being and success.


Clinical Reassessment

Following your TPE sessions, we'll draw labs to assess and explore your updated baseline and to plan for optimized therapy. Most people return for at least two more TPE sessions.

TPE for Chronic Illness and Autoimmune Conditions

Although TPE can be effective for many people, the level of success depends largely on your commitment to a lifestyle that keeps your blood plasma clean.


Is TPE guaranteed to work?


Generally speaking, TPE may be appropriate and effective for you unless you are:
  • severely anemic
  • experiencing an active infection
  • have low blood pressure or uncontrolled bleeding
  • undergoing chemotherapy
  • pregnant
  • post-surgical within 6 weeks
  • younger than 18.

Our consultation and comprehensive assessment are designed to answer this question with certainty.


Am I eligible for TPE?

Yes, although we recommend limiting high-intensity activities for 48 hours following each session. 


Can I go back to work or school after a session?


Depending on your unique needs, health, and age, each session lasts between 90 minutes and 4 hours.

How long do the sessions last?

Some people experience mild discomfort when the IVs are placed. 

Is TPE painful?

No, although you'll need to travel to our clinic for your sessions. We offer a local/extended stay protocol as well as an out-of-town/intensive protocol. During your consultation, we can explore if an intensive program would be safe and appropriate for you.


Do I need to live in the Dallas area to receive TPE through you?


A significant number of studies point to TPE has an effective treatment for severe infection. We, and other clinics like us, are now applying that knowledge to outpatient settings, based on studies such as these:

Research is ongoing and promising.

Is there research to support this use of TPE?



You may experience inflammation at the IV sites, and any time you receive an IV there's a risk of infection. Other risks include hypocalcemia (low calcium in the blood), low blood pressure, and cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm). Our consultation and pre-session labs minimize these risks.


What risks are associated with TPE?

TPE is a highly specialized medical procedure, not a standard IV treatment. The cost reflects several key factors:
  • Advanced Equipment - TPE uses sophisticated machines similar to dialysis systems that require ongoing maintenance and calibration.
  • Single-Use Medical Supplies - Each session requires sterile tubing, filters, and replacement fluids (like albumin or plasma)
  • Safety Monitoring - Staff provides continuous supervision throughout the procedure due to the complexity of circulating and filtering blood
  • Clinical Expertise - Proper training and experience are essential to manage potential complications
  • Liability and compliance - High standards of care and malpractice coverage contribute to overall costs.
