Dr. V. Y. Bhargav specializes in Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE), an advanced procedure that helps treat severe liver-related and systemic conditions.
TPE involves removing a patient’s plasma and replacing it with donor plasma or plasma substitutes. This process eliminates harmful substances such as autoantibodies, toxins, immune complexes, and abnormal proteins, thereby reducing disease burden and improving recovery.
It is particularly beneficial in:
- Acute Liver Failure (ALF) & Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF)
- Autoimmune liver diseases
- Wilson’s disease with acute crisis
- Severe sepsis or systemic inflammatory states
With expertise in critical care and interventional hepatology, Dr. Bhargav ensures safe, timely, and effective TPE management, often serving as a bridge to recovery or liver transplantation.
