Abstract
Created in 1985, the French Society of Haemapheresis (SFH) Registry is the largest data base of plasma exchange (PE) in the world. Data anal ysis shows that neurological diseases are the most frequent indication s for PE in France and that improvement in technique has reduced early complications. As for therapeutic cytapheresis, peripheral blood stem collection represents the major activity (64%). The second most commo n activity is UVA extracorporeal photochemotherapy.
