How Much Does Plasmapheresis Cost in Istanbul?

Plasmapheresis in Istanbul typically costs from $1,200 to $2,100 per session. The final price depends on the underlying medical condition, the volume of plasma exchanged, and the equipment used. Patients save around 70% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $6,000 on average. Most Istanbul clinics bundle the treatment with specialist consultations, diagnostic tests, and basic medical medications.

  • Technique and filters: specialized filters for neurological vs. hematological issues affect total material costs.
  • Hospital accreditation level: JCI-accredited centers often have higher session prices than smaller specialty clinics.
  • Treatment cycles: a full course typically requires 3 to 10 sessions performed every few days.
  • In-patient care: prices increase if the patient requires continuous monitoring in a high-dependency unit.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul offers a unique concentration of university hospitals like Medipol Mega that integrate plasmapheresis into complex oncology and neurology programs. While many seek this for single sessions, the best value is found in JCI-accredited centers affiliated with US institutions, such as Anadolu Medical Center. These facilities offer plasma exchange under protocols identical to Johns Hopkins Medicine but at a fraction of the cost.

I had the worst experience at Anadolu hospital, and actually feel like I was scammed. The doctors or employees there made it clear they do not care AT ALL what happens to you, only that they take as much money from you as they can before you leave. Horrible! If I survive in the end without being bankrupt, I will definitely hire a lawyer and sue them!
Nothing:(

I couldn't have wanted for more
What really stood out was sitting with my surgeon as he so carefully measured and marked my upper eyelids. He was very honest about what to expect from the recovery and potential scarring, which I appreciated. The procedure was done with just local anesthesia. I'm still in the early healing stages, but I am feeling better than expected so far. The clinic team has stayed in touch to check in on me, and there were no additional expenses at all. I can't even think of any advice for a future patient, because the clinic provided all the necessary information beforehand. I couldn't have wanted for more.

We were greeted warmly, as if visiting family
The doctor clearly and honestly outlined realistic recovery goals without giving empty promises. This professional and compassionate approach was evident from the very first day. I want to sincerely thank Bookimed and the entire team of the rehabilitation center! We were greeted warmly, as if visiting family. The entire staff is attentive, kind, and always ready to help. The atmosphere here is truly home-like, which is very important during inpatient rehabilitation. Our program included modern methods, including hardware therapy, and they also took care of simple but essential things: providing delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners every day. Importantly, there were no additional expenses beyond the clinic's payment. It's still early to talk about the results. But we are very glad we chose you. Thank you for your care, professionalism, and humanity.

Honestly, there is nothing I can say about making it a better experience, everything went smoothly and on time
What stood out most was the flawless organization from start to finish. I came for chronic pain treatment, and the entire process was handled with true professionalism. The team made it simple. My "whole experience has been excellent especially the translator and coordinator innes and alisar." The online planning was also very smooth, as Olha "dealt with everything online making my life easier" and was easy to correspond with. I gave the surgeon, staff, and clinic the highest ratings. Honestly, "there is nothing I can say about making it a better experience, everything went smoothly and on time."

Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team
Operation DBS. Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team . Because setting up the equipment is as important process for patients as the operation to install it. Honestly, I can't imagine that such an operation can be done in Ukraine.... Of course, there are young and promising doctors. But there is no equipment.

Dr Sait has worked wonders
On the 18th he underwent surgery with a vagus nerve stimulator on the 25th and it was connected. Dr Sait has worked wonders. Daytime seizures are very rare but nighttime seizures have changed completely. I am 35 years old and so far only the first connection 0.25 paediatric dose and 5 more connections. Thank you to the neurologist Dr Yemmir who agreed to treat me. For all my years my encephalogram is finally normal. I am from abroad. I don't live in Istanbul. But I thank the whole clinic, all the doctors, all the interpreters, all the staff.

"But I want to express my deepest and heartfelt thanks to our assistant from the first day, a month before we arrived at Mahmoud Kathab hospital, this young man is gifted with a huge heart, I think he was the person who made me choose MEDIPOL PARMERA etc
I would like to express our satisfaction with the DBS operation, the stay in the hospital, which I dare to say at the world level. Dr. Ali Zirh is an absolute professional, precise, clear, concrete and above all very human. But I want to express my deepest and heartfelt thanks to our assistant from the first day, a month before we arrived at Mahmoud Kathab hospital, this young man is gifted with a huge heart, I think he was the person who made me choose MEDIPOL PARMERA etc. Ali Zarh. Last but not least, I am fascinated by the neurologist Dr. Basak and her team, who for 21 days took care of regulating the exact therapy and impulses of my husband. Our entire stay was reduced to the last detail for our benefit, to feel at home. We have not regretted it for a moment, that we chose MEDIPOL MEGA GROUP, thank you Mahmoud, you were born to help people like us!!! Please to reword Mahmoud Kathab ,he deserved a lot!!!

Quality of service and knowledge of medical and nursing staff at the highest level
We were at Memorial Ankara on the 27th and 28th of October. The transfer was organised. We were met by Nigora, a member of the international department of the clinic. We saw a neurologist and a cardiologist. We had blood tests, MRI, Doppler, ECG, ECHG, Holter ..... Quality of service and knowledge of medical and nursing staff at the highest level. We are satisfied. Thank God, my dad feels well. He bought all the pills we were prescribed in Ankara.
Everything is for people. The quality of service and knowledge of the medical and nursing staff is at the highest level.
It's all right.

The paediatric neurologist does not dispose the child to herself
The paediatric neurologist does not dispose the child to herself, immediately started talking to the child in her own language, and the child did not understand her, and she took it as if he did not react to her. And she made a diagnosis on this basis. Secondly, there aren't enough interpreters. They're torn between clients,
