Kaplan Center to Offer Outpatient Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) to Treat Chronic Illness, Cognitive Health and Aging

The Kaplan Center is the first to offer this treatment in the Northern Virginia region.

McLean, VA — January 27, 2026 — A treatment used to slow Alzheimer’s progression, reduce inflammation, and boost overall vitality is now available for the first time in Northern Virginia. The Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine has launched an outpatient Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) program, bringing hospital-level innovation into a comfortable, wellness-centered environment.

Also known as plasmapheresis, TPE gently filters the blood to remove inflammatory proteins and toxins that can interfere with the body’s natural healing processes. The “old” plasma is replaced with nutrient-rich fluids such as albumin, helping to restore balance and create the optimal conditions for repair, regeneration, and improved cognitive function.
