The procedure removed approximately 3 liters of plasma and took about 1 hour and 45 minutes. A prior family plasma exchange involved generational plasma transfer, with Brian receiving plasma from his son and donating to his father. Total plasma exchange removes all plasma from the body and replaces it with albumin. Intense hunger following plasma exchange is consistent with the metabolic cost of regenerating 3 liters of plasma. Red and irritated eyes were observed as a side effect after plasma exchange, attributed to the plasma-rebuilding process. The goals of the total plasma exchange are experimental: reduce environmental toxins, slow DNA methylation aging rate, and monitor other aging biomarkers.
